You are being given the opportunity to plan the basis for
your essay answers ahead of time. Take advantage of this! Keep it very short by planning
to just list the highlights. For an example, consider the first of the possible
questions you listed.
Thesis: The Industrial Revolution
created changes in the social, political and economic climates of the western
world.
First point: The creation of factories led to the
growth and development of large urban populations. Support: As people started working in
the new factories, they moved from small, self-sufficient farms closer to their new
employment location in large numbers.
Second point: More
people became involved in political activities as a result of their employment in the
factories. Support: Unions developed as workers learned to work together to demand
better working conditions and pay.
Third point: The
economic impact of the Industrial Revolution varied greatly, depending on an
individual's position. Support: Factory owners and bankers could become very wealthy,
but most workers in early factories were underpaid and had lower standards of living
than before they became factory laborers.
Do your research
and planning for each of your questions. Good luck!
