TED Talk or Rant – Thanks and Thanks for Nothing Industrial Revolution
With a partner, you will create a TED Talk or Rant about what we should thank the Industrial Revolution for (positive effects), and what we should not thank it for (negative effects).
TED Talk:
- 10 min
- Explanation of what we should thank the IR for
- Explanation of what we shouldn’t thank the IR for
- Include visual examples to compliment your explanation
- Conclusion – has the Industrial Revolution been more beneficial or more detrimental to our world today?
Rant:
- 10 min
- Can be broken into multiple short rants
- Each rant needs an intro to what role the item/innovation plays in our lives today
- Explain what is to be thankful for or not thankful for
- Conclude each rant with an overall positive or negative effect of the item/innovation
- Visuals should connect the Industrial Revolution to today (could be a used in the intro)
