Running the Revolution

In class recently, we were given 5  or 6 sources to analyze to research a common theme. My groups them for example was how the Industrial Revolution impacted nature and people.

Picture of my group's poster. Apologies about the quality, it had to be

scaled down to be able to fit the given space.

After putting this together, I realized that curating a museum is much easier and harder than I thought. While actually putting something like this together is relatively easy, it can be hard to remember to include roughly only what people would find interesting. If you give detailed descriptions then you will lose people's attention, but if you cut things too short then you won't be able to include everything you have to.

Some of the other groups topics were also rather interesting. One gave a rather detailed explanation on how a steam powered transportation worked. This was complete with how steam engine works to a diagram of where resources were in comparison to transportation. The second went into more in depth detail on how people's lives were made worse. One focus was on the age of people working and how much they would be working at a time. The third poster was about spinning mills. More specifically, it was about how conditions in them turned very similar to slavery soon after they began work. The last exhibit was slightly related to the last. It was about how the demand for  cloth began to rise as populations would, needing more and more cloth to be able keep the population warm.
