Submission Required
Each student drafts a problem statement that names one California industry, the geography or resources connected to it, and the decision the Task Force must make about future investment. Students then give feedback to 2 peers, receive feedback, and revise using a checklist focused on clarity, evidence, and audience. The revised statement becomes the planning anchor for later essay paragraphs, slide design, and speech claims.
