01

What Students Need to Do

Students trace how goods, jobs, and money move between countries. They compare past and present patterns of industrial growth, weigh the gains and costs of trade, and examine how governments respond.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain how clothing exports create jobs in Bangladesh and lower prices abroad, while also raising concerns about wages and pollution. They can connect factory growth today to an earlier period of industrial growth and compare how two countries respond to workers' needs.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may assume cheaper imports help everyone equally or that factory jobs always improve workers' lives. They may confuse a tariff, which taxes imports, with a wage law, which sets a pay floor.

04

How to Assess It

Exit ticket: British mills in 1850 and Bangladeshi clothing factories today both hired rural workers and polluted rivers. Name one repeating pattern, one benefit and cost of trade, and one action Bangladesh could take to address the cost.

2. 02

3. 03

   Give teams tariff, wage law, and job-training cards; have them match each policy to a country facing a stated problem and defend their choice.
