🧭 Truth Trail Launch Gallery

Students rotate through stations with headlines, political cartoons, land advertisements, courtroom excerpts from The Crucible, maps of westward expansion, and images of Great Plains change. Using sticky notes and a notice-wonder-benefit-missing protocol, they record what message each source sends, who benefits from that message, and what information may be absent. The class closes with a debrief that introduces the driving question and the semester products: the investigation notebook, evidence board, multimedia brief, and showcase gallery.
