The sun shone more brightly on men because…
- higher wages

HOWEVER
However some women saw patches of sunlight because…
- DOMESTIC SERVANTS
- better food
- better living conditions
- higher wages than coal mines

- more opportunities for job movement
BUT STILL
But domestic servants still…
- did hard physical work
- can be treated badly
- had to be a certain age or strength
- had to be single
- childcare
Firedamp (mines)
a flammable gas
Chokedamp (mines)
mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, which could suffocate…gaspockets were chokedamp
Mineshaft
Instead of tunnel
Colliery
instead of coal mine
Trappers
open and close the heavy doors in the mines
Putters
Push the carts in the mines
Groundwater
When they dig deep enough in the mines, and the water comes up from below causing flooding)
What could cause accidents in coal mines
Structural issues, poor ventilation and air quality, technology/equipment, minimal, flooding
Flooding in the mines
- Groundwater
- Rain coming from above
- Passages were all connected causing water to flood everywhere
ALL CAUSING DROWNING
Structural issues in the mine
- Ground above collapsing
- Rotting wood planks holding it up
RESULTS IN DEATH - Small, cramped spaces
- On way in and out
HARD TO ESCAPE
Poor ventilation in the mines
- Coal dust causing BLACK LUNG DISEASE
- Gas pockets & open flame = explosions
- Gas pockets also mean poisoning and suffocation
Gas pockets
- Explosions could be caused when an open flame used for light ignites a gas pocket
- CHOKEDAMP, making it impossible to breath
Scavenger in factories
Went round and picked
up loose pieces of left over cotton and textiles (WENT UNDER MOVING MACHINES)
Piecer in factories
Rubbed their hands to fix problems with the cotton etc (Friction burns)

P - the second reason for this is
E - Factual details
E - as a result of…therefor
Analysis
2 points from the source
P - the source/name of writer suggests
E - evidence (facts or details from the picture)
E - Therefore suggesting
P - the source also suggests
E- evidence
E - therefore suggesting
Synthesis
SyntheSiS Similarity
Topic sentence - sources B and C both suggest…however b…while C…
Similarity - Quotes…therefore both suggesting
Difference - Quotes… where as or in contrast to…
Conclusion - while both agree on…b emphasies, suggests more about… whereas c puts more emphasise on, conflicts
Evaluation
Useful - QUOTE this source is useful for understanding the perspective of… about… they are
suggesting
Missing - However it misses out (another perspective this would be good because)
Reliability?- There are issues with the reliability of this source (who they are, MOTIVE)… therefore this explains
