Topic: INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Find two outside sources on the Industrial Revolution: one or two sources that examine positive effects, and one or two that examine negative effects.
Find at least two positive effects and two negative effects. Explain the cause and effect of each.
Write an analytical paragraph for each argument: identify, examine and evaluate key reasons for the “pro” arguments in one paragraph, and for the “con” arguments in another.
Optional: Write a final paragraph giving your own evaluation of the topic. You may agree or disagree with one of the sources or provide your own opinion on the Industrial
Revolution (or both), but whatever you choose, you must provide your reasoning for drawing your conclusion.
An analytical brief contains:
1. 500-700 words double spaced
2. A Works Cited page
3. ln-text citations
4. Pagination on all pages
5. Appropriate title
NOTE: an analytical brief does NOT contain an introduction or thesis statement. Start right in with your analysis. Any background material, however brief, will lose points.
