What will students review with these task cards?

With these Industrialization Task Cards, students will:

• the relationships among natural resources, transportation, and industrial development from 1865
• the impact of new inventions, the rise of big business, the growth of industry, and the changes to life on American farms in response to industrialization
• the relationship between captains of industry and robber barons
• the technological advances and the broader impact of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair on America’s rise as a world leader in innovation, business, and trade
• the impact of the Progressive Movement on child labor, working conditions, the rise of organized labor, support for eugenics as a social policy, immigration policy, women’s suffrage, and the temperance movement
• the muckrakers and what they exposed about industrialization
• the events, factors, and motivations that caused individuals and groups to migrate to the United States towards the end of the 19th century
• governmental actions including, but not limited to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, that caused harm to Chinese Americans and other immigrants
• how various groups worked to alleviate the issues facing new immigrants and how immigrants advocated for themselves
• the cause and effect relationship between rapid population growth and city government services and infrastructure

What standards are covered?

These Industrialization Task Cards are specifically aligned with the 2023 Virginia U.S. History SOL USII.3, although the task cards closely match most U.S. History standards related to industrialization, immigration, and the Progressive Era.

What if I want to create my own social studies task cards?

Four blank task cards are included so that you can create additional questions, if needed. For these task cards, you will print the blank cards and write your questions directly on the cards.

Don’t miss out!

Task cards are a great, low-prep way to review at the end of a US History unit or before state testing. These Industrialization Task Cards can easily be used as part of a social studies center, Scoot activity, or review game.

Other Information:

I recommend printing these task cards in color and laminating so that they can easily be reused from year to year, although this is not necessary. These task cards also print and are easy to read in grayscale.
