Recently in Flight, we’ve been studying revolutions. Mainly, the Industrial Revolution in Britain. We were assigned a project where we had to make an explain everything answering this question: what were the causes and consequences of the development of the railway during the Industrial Revolution in Britain? There was lots of criteria that we had to follow to make this visual essay. For example, our video must include a beginning, middle, and end, show at least three different causes (the reason why/how railway had that change) and their consequence (the impact of that change), and more. We did lots of research on the Industrial Revolution and the causes and consequences of the development of the railway in Britain.
Our teacher had us hand in multiple drafts of this project. My first draft was very bad to say the least. It had no audio at the beginning and no conclusion at all. It covered pretty much everything I’d wanted to go over, but it was still very lacking. I’m disappointed to say my second draft was all that much better. I added a few more things in and tweaked it a little, but I would just call this mild improvement. The process of making these things can take so long. Especially when Explain Everything deletes your audio after you’ve recorded. Over and over again. My life is a train wreck.
My final draft is the one. It’s the masterpiece everyone’s been missing in their lives. It’s the peanut butter to your jelly. The Mona to your Lisa. This one has taken the cake. I spent more time on this than I should’ve but it was kinda fun in a way that you would only understand if I explained everything. I am a person of low expectations. Please feel free to follow in my footsteps when watching the following presentation. Now, for what you’ve all been waiting for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v3aT4q_BwE
How large of an impact do you think the railroads have on the industrial revolution?
