Teams examine a packet of case vignettes, service flyers, intake forms, transit maps, and multilingual excerpts connected to immigrant experiences in local communities. They sort clues into barriers, supports, unanswered questions, and contradictions on chart paper, then post 2-3 possible explanations for what is happening in the case set. The class closes with a short synthesis of which clues seem most important and which details still need evidence.
