Students will launch the California migration investigation by building a first draft of the class living timeline, analyzing how California was represented across eras, practicing source and note-taking routines, refining investigable questions, and setting up the notebook and collaboration structures they will use in later phases.
Days 1 - 6
Gallery Curiosity Sprint
Gallery Curiosity Sprint
Students will rotate through migration-era sources and community stories, build a first draft of the class living timeline, generate and refine investigable questions about California as a pull factor, and test early interpretations through source analysis, discussion, and feedback before moving into formal question and method planning.
Days 7 - 15
Analyze & Present Findings
Analyze & Present Findings
Students will analyze patterns, contradictions, and change over time across California migration eras, then turn their evidence into clear public-facing explanations through revised captions, audio reflections, and a rehearsal gallery walk that strengthens the living timeline mural before the final showcase.
Days 43 - 51
Showcase
Showcase
Students will finalize and present the California Connections living timeline mural to families and community partners, use feedback from a rehearsal gallery walk to strengthen cross-era reasoning, and reflect on how evidence from multiple migration stories explains California’s changing identity.
