  • What follows is a description of McAdam’s road-building method. You must represent it graphically, in other words, by means of a clear drawing WITH CAPTIONS so that anyone will be able to follow your instructions.

John McAdam’s road-building method:

The bottom layer, called the foundation, consisted of large stones.

Onto this layer, the workers threw a second layer of medium-sized stones.

This was followed by a layer of smaller stones, after which the top layer of gravel, sand and lime was rolled flat so that it formed a smooth, even surface.

Educator: Grade Eights, it should be clear to you by now that during the Industrial Revolution tremendous social changes took place. The rich became richer and the poor even poorer. The labourers only had their labour to sell, and the employer could decide how much he wanted to pay. Child labour, especially, was exploited.

Parents who were poor, sold their children in order to get money to pay for food for their younger children.

Those of you who saw the movie Mary Poppins, will know of the circumstances in which chimney-sweeps lived. A lack of food, illness due to the coal dust they inhaled, inadequate treatment made the life of these children miserable.

Sipho: I want to tell the history class how I collected money for my school fees. I started with cheap dishwashing fluid, old rags and bottles of water. I stood next to the off-ramp of the busy national road with a poster advertising my windscreen-wash service. My first client told me to keep the change. Another lady driving a spotless car, said that she enjoyed my friendliness. My undertaking expanded into a regular car-wash service for satisfied customers.

A squatter is a person who settles somewhere without the necessary amenities.

Mrs. Makhosana says that she offers the necessary amenities to her children: a roof over their heads, sufficient food and clothing, free medical treatment and day-to-day care and she pays their schooling. In exchange for that they respect her house rules and everyone makes a compulsory contribution to the household. Her children are a perfect example of their family, and she is proud of them.

Martin: During the holidays, I worked as a volunteer at the Animal Welfare Society. The clients that I had while I was there consisted of nine dogs, various birds and cats. I walk the dogs and feed the birds and cats every day. I am willing to clean the birdcages for extra money.
