FEEDBACK
We have become aware of the effects of the Industrial Revolution
We have learnt the main features of the different systems of thought which have developed during and after the Industrial Revolution (Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, …)
We have learnt to compare different perspectives on the same subject, distinguishing plain facts from personal opinions
We have improved our writing skills We have found the workshop a more involving and
interesting activity than the usual frontal lesson
