Wednesday, August 13 to Thursday, August 14
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The New Hampshire Historical Society presents a professional development opportunity focusing on New Hampshire and the Industrial Revolution. In this two-day workshop for elementary educators, participants will learn the history and get hands-on experience with the lesson plans, projects, and activities developed for students in grades 3-8.
New Hampshire was once one of the industrial powerhouses in the United States, and even, at times, in the world. Explore how the people of New Hampshire harnessed the state’s natural resources and built factories all over the Granite State to produce just about every product imaginable. From the mighty Amoskeag Manufacturing Company to the little brick buildings that sprang up in most New Hampshire communities, the state embraced the Industrial Revolution, and in the process transformed almost every aspect of society. This workshop will cover the evolution of industrialization, the expansion of immigration, and the rise of urbanization that created the New Hampshire we know today through explanatory lessons and summative projects from "Moose on the Loose: Social Studies for Granite State Kids," especially Unit 11: Big Factories and New Industries.
