In last week’s lessons we looked at how the life of Tom changed whilst Britain changed around him.

For this cover lesson I want you to complete a “Storyboard” of 6 images which show how Tom’s life changed….use lots of colours and try to complete the events in the correct, chronological order! Don’t forget to write a sentence under each box to say what’s happening!

Things you could include:-

• Tom as a boy learning to weave with his Dad

• Tom falling in love with the girl

• Tom leaving the countryside to go to the city

• Tom learning how the power loom worked

• Tom working his way up in the factory to being second in charge

• How the factory changed – lots of child workers

• Tom witnessing how the child injured her leg underneath the machine

• Tom showing the new accountant (young man) around the factory
