The curating process was challenging in some ways but also very rewarding at the end. We started with 6 documents, and then had to analyze them and decide how to arrange them into an "exhibit". This not only challenged our minds, but our creativity as well. We had to arrange, caption, and glue our documents to make an appealing and interesting "exhibit". The process started with simple analyzing of documents, then coming up with a creative title and captions, and finally putting it all together to make a interesting "exhibit".
After all of this was completed, we got to go around and observe what other groups had created with their documents. Group D's title was "An era built on the backs of children" and their poster helped me learn that children were worked hard in unsafe environments for kids. They showed 3 different pictures as examples of the hardships that kids went through.
Group E's title was "Cotton and slave boom in the industrial revolution" and they helped me learn that slavery was very prevalent during this time period. They showed a chart and a graph showing just how many slaves were involved.
Group A's title was "Before and After" and they showed us things that happened before the Industrial revolution and things that happened after the industrial revolution. One interesting fact was that London's population grew 8 times bigger of the course of the industrial revolution. It also showed us the effect of machines being created on families which caused some family members to lose their jobs.
Group B's title was "Transporting the industrial revolution" and they showed us some of the effects of the creation of them steam engine and the creation of railroads. They showed us a map that showed us after the steam engine was created, shipment of coal and other resources were able to happen much faster and therefore help to speed up production of different products.
