I think your teacher is just trying to tease you!
Are you studying the Agricultural Revolution - the 18th century?
If you are, he almost certainly means the 'Enclosure Movement'.

Do you remember how, when you did the Middle Ages, you learned that the villagers held their land in strips inthree 'open fields'?
Well, by the 18th century, people had realised that this was a very inefficient way of farming, so they gather all their land into one 'farm', and enclosed all their own land with a fence ... hence 'enclosure'.

Try these links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enclosure (VERY hard)

Just one more thing. Please don;t forget to say please - everyone does on this forum.
best of luck.
