Submission Required
Students enter a simulated state task force meeting and examine a short set of briefing materials: a California resource map, industry photos, port and farming images, and brief news clips about agriculture, technology, tourism, and shipping. The class discusses the essential questions and records first observations on a shared chart about how geography and natural resources may shape industry. Students end by writing one early opinion about which industry seems strongest and one question they still have.
