🎯 Learning Intention

Today, I will create a rough draft StoryMap that tells part of the story of the industries that built San Bernardino, using maps and data layers.

✅ Success Criteria

I can build a StoryMap draft with a title, at least one map (raster or vector), and a short written explanation of its significance.

🌍 Why Are We Learning This?

StoryMaps let us connect data + narrative. By drafting our industry StoryMaps, we begin to show how geography, economy, and community history overlap in San Bernardino.

🧠 Warm-Up – Tech Journal Prompt

💡 What is one industry (past or present) that has shaped San Bernardino? How has it affected the city’s growth or decline?
