=Holiday Professional Point Project: The Diary of an Industrial Worker= Standard 10.3.3 and 10.3.4

Breakdown
You will use pages for this assignment. Your task is write a 300 to 400 word diary entry in which you pretend to be an industrial worker in England during the Industrial Revolution. You will create this person from scratch using research as your guide (no inappropriate names). Although this is a creative writing assignment, you will base all content on research. You must research the following items to include in your diary entry: -Which industrial city did you work in? -Which industry did you work in? -What were conditions like in the factory? -What were living conditions like in your home? -How did the factory owner treat you? -What was life like before you came to the city to work in the factory? -Are you from another country originally?

1) Factory 2) Wages 3) Labor 4)Entrepreneur 5) Cottage Industry 6) Labor Union 7)Steam 8) Urbanization
 * You must use these words in your diary:**

You can pick any Industry that existed at the time but here are a few that you can steal from me: -Textile -Coal mining -Steel/Iron Factory

This Diary entry is based on fact so you must have at least three sources for your work. Cite the sources using easybib.com at the end of your diary. We will read through these and then form a dairy entry. We so not want to just make things up.

Here are some links to sources that will help you research for your dairy: [] [] [] [] []

Your dairy should start similar to this:

Dear industrial diary,

It is me again, Charlie Chingkowski. Today was another rough day at the steel factory. It seems to get harder and harder each day I am there. However, I have to press on to take care of Nancy and my four kids; Hunter, Gatherer, Dejuan, and Deadajuan. If I keep working hard, maybe the factory owner will increase my wages or make me a foreman...............
