Lesson Objective: Students will be allowed to present the data they have gathered, the graphs they have made, and their analysis of how our region is doing. All of the students will have the opportunity to be exposed to the work of their classmates, allowing them to get a feel for strengths and weaknesses of the region's wealth.

Explain that the day will be devoted to student presentations of indicators. Ask the students to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the region in light of all the student's presentations.

Allow each student to present their diagram. Time allotted for each presentation will depend on the number of students in the class and the amount of time available.

With each student’s presentation, ask the class to identify which category of wealth the indicator falls within and whether the indicator contributes positively or negatively to the wealth of our communities. Ask the class to identify where improvement might be needed in our communities.

After the presentations, explain that the students will next consider how to foster change in our communities. They will begin by considering the various levels of government and what the levels are responsible for, using water resources as an example.

Students have analyzed one indicator of the wealth of Humboldt County. They have been exposed to the work of their classmates and are building a picture of what the strengths and weaknesses of our region are.

Next they will consider how to foster change in our communities. They will look at Federalism in general, studying the roles that the various levels of government play and how they interact. The example of water in California will demonstrate these concepts.
