Description
Inquiry Overview:
This lesson will be focused on the question "How can people in my state learn from Germany when it comes to the revitalization of old industrial sites?" Students will first study how Germany can be used as a case study for revitalizing former industrial sites. Students will then research the industrial history of the town and state they live in. They will identify former industrial sites that are no longer in active use and brainstorm ideas for revitalizing their chosen areas. This lesson culminates in a proposal students will write to present to the city council of the area chosen.
