What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students compare how countries built wealth at different times. They find repeated patterns, such as factory growth drawing workers from farms to cities, and use examples from more than one country.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can identify factory growth and urban migration in nineteenth-century Britain and twentieth-century South Korea. They can cite a fact from each place and explain one difference in how the two economies grew.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may assume every country develops in the same order. They may also think that more factories or trade means every worker becomes better off.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Factory jobs expanded in 1800s Britain and post-1960 South Korea as farm workers moved to cities. Name the shared pattern and explain how both examples show it.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs timeline cards for 1800s Britain, 1890s Japan, and 1960s South Korea; have them arrange factory growth and urban migration.
Ask, 'If factory output doubles, does everyone get richer?' Have students write two sentences about wages and inequality.
Play pattern match with Britain, Japan, and South Korea cards; students score only when they cite evidence from two countries.
Display a current news report about factory investment in Vietnam; students compare its claims about jobs and migration with 1960s South Korea.
