Students work with interview notes, trade union quotes, job-posting snippets, photos of tools and safety gear, and simple artifact cards from three trades to sort evidence into a class comparison chart. The teacher models how to separate observed facts from guesses, then students help label categories such as tools, tasks, training, safety, and signs of market demand. Students end with organized notes in their Building Trades Investigation Notebook or digital folder.
