Test rewrite instructions:


Rewriting the essay is optional (there is no rewrite for the short answer).  If you choose to do so your rewrite is due printed out on paper handed in no later than the beginning of class on Oct. 7.  I will give you the average between your grade on the rewrite and your original grade (even if the new grade is lower).  Make sure that you read both the overall comment for your paper and the comments in the text.  To see the comments in the text, go to your grades, click on the assignment, and then click on view feedback.  More detailed instructions here: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10542-4212352349

It is not sufficient on a rewrite to simply change a few sentences where the person who graded your test made comments, though you certainly need to respond to the comments.  You must substantially revise your essay to do a better job of answering the question, organizing your argument, and using specific examples.  We expect a slightly higher standard of writing and particularly of organization on a rewrite where you are not so limited by time as on the original test.
 
You are required to meet with the professor or one of the teaching assistants to discuss your essay before handing in a rewrite.  Our office hours are:
or email for an appointment at another time.

Here is the question:
What changes created a market for the new and much more plentiful products made by the factories of the industrial revolution in England? Discuss three different changes, at least one of which must be within England and one outside the boundaries of the island. Draw a conclusion about whether domestic (within England) or international changes in the market are more important (or if that changes over time).

I suggest that you specify for each of your changes whether it is important at the beginning of the industrial revolution, in the first phase and/or in the second phase. Be careful to focus on the market (the ability of consumers to buy the new goods), not causes of the industrial revolution more broadly.  This question assumes that having a market for goods was a key cause of the industrial revolution and asks what led to having that market for goods.  Which causes operated through that step?
