CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.9-10.7 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.W.7 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.9-10.1 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.9-10.7 Submission Required

Students analyze a short set of launch materials including Greektown photos, a neighborhood map, a brief article excerpt on rising rents and redevelopment, and one community partner quote. In teams, they identify who may be affected, what tensions they notice between preservation and change, and why the issue matters locally. Each student writes a first-pass challenge statement with at least three evidence points and ends with a clear "How can we..., so that..." question.
