The Industrial Revolution

     The House of Commons has decided to award one innovator of the Industrial Revolution with an award: The American Industrial Revolution Achievement Award. This award recognizes an innovator for making a significant contribution to our society. Your boss has asked you to research influential innovators and make a recommendation to the House of Commons for who should receive this prestigious award.  

As you research each innovator, you will take notes on the worksheet you have been given. After you finish researching all of the innovators, you will make a recommendation for the award.

Your final product will be a powerpoint presentation that will aim to persuade the House of Commons to choose your innovator.  This powerpoint will be accompanied by a letter recommending the innovator for the award, a picture and explanation of the innovator's invention, and background information on the innovator. If you can persuade the Award Committee, this person will get the American Industrial Revolution Acheivement Award.
