Students revisit maps, photos, port data, crop images, and short news clips from the state briefing and sort evidence into categories: geography, natural resources, industry growth, and community impact. The teacher models how to pull one accurate fact and one possible inference from each source, then students add notes to a shared chart. Teams end by naming one pattern they notice across agriculture, technology, tourism, or shipping.
