Launch
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
Question & Method Plan
Question & Method Plan
Students will refine a focused investigation question about California migration, test possible ways to gather trustworthy evidence, and produce a method plan that uses corroborated sources and interview preparation to guide the next phase of research.
Days 16 - 24
Source Capture & Notes
Source Capture & Notes
Students will collect, verify, and organize evidence from archival materials and community interviews so each emerging claim about California migration can be traced to a cited source, compared across eras, and prepared for later timeline analysis.
Days 25 - 33
Claim Evidence Check
Claim Evidence Check
Students will test the strength of their developing timeline claims by checking chronology, corroborating source support, revising uncertain captions, and tightening citation trails before moving into full synthesis and presentation work.
Days 34 - 42
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.
