Industrial Revolution exam

Hello, dear students!
The following exam will include the unit of the Industrial Revolution and what we study about the Imperialism (unit 3). All we have studied and done in class is important and can appear in this exam. - There will be a vocabulary question, but you do not have to define, but only translate into English. The questions can be related to both  the historical vocabulary of the unit and the general vocabulary said in class.
- What was the Industrial Revolution? Do not forget when defining any historical concept to locate both in the space and the time.
- Causes of the Industrial Revolution: The question will consist of relating some pictures to an specific cause by explaining and reasoning the relation.
- Consequences: you must reason your opinion regarding some consequences of the Industrial Revolution.Therefore, you  must argue if a consequence was positive or negative  by reasoning your opinion.
- Industry and transports changes (developed by the Basic Concepts activities and the outline)

See you in class. Have a nice week.
