An advanced way of making a living

Behind every museum exhibit is the curator that made it. Every exhibit goes through the analysis process. This is an important part of curating a museum because we want the people looking at our exhibit to understand spinning wheels and power looms and how they became more industrialized. It shows that we, the curators know what we are talking about. Our exhibit contains several photos and written pieces. On the left side of our exhibit are pictures of the almond loom from 1771 and the spinning wheel from 1814. These two pieces show what spinning was like before wheels and looms were industrialized. We then have arrows pointing to the right side of the exhibit. These arrows are pointing to the industrialized spinning wheels and  looms. The spinning Jenny from 1835 and the power loom at the textile mill. We also incorporated a chart showing London's growth and quotes from a reading. My group and I came up with our exhibit title because we wanted to our visitors to see how spinning wheels and power looms have changed how people live their lives. To visitors visiting the exhibit I would want them to learn the the industrial revolution changed the way people lived. Before families would spin cotton in their homes and now they work in factories. 

Living in filth:

I learned how although producing products in factories was good for their industries they also harmed our earth. These factories resulted in a widespread of pollution in many cities. This lead to dirty waterways and overpopulated poor areas of living.

Broken Children:

I learned that Britain limited the amount of hours per day and per week people under the age of 18 could work.I also learned that children did a lot of the heavy work including having leather belts tied around them with a metal chain so that they could carry heavy loads 

More Cotton, More Slaves, Less Freedom:

I learned that the more demand their is for cotton the more slaves their will be.I also learned that cotton was traded in England to other places in 1850.

Thomas Takes Great Britain:

I learned that canals were used to bring goods to other communities. I also learned that transportation evolved in 1804 to 1853.
