The above classification is for British standards. For the U.S. this resource could be used in 9th or 10th grade for World History and U.S. History when discussing Industrialization. Do not use the image links because they either don't work or are too small to see. Instead, use the "web: Activity" link for some great resources on primary images during the British Industrial Revolution of children working.
