Great presentation and gave me some good information that I can impart to my students as they do their own research on current and future international business developments in southern California. We start fourth grade starting about the trade between different regional native tribes. We then get into the Spanish colonial period which includes the stopping in California of the Spanish galleons from Asia. The beginnings of this trade. As the history is taught it would be good for my students to do some research and the current connections between southern California and Asia including the electric car companies and LG flat screen technologies being currently courted. Great discussions can be had regarding the port facility and its importance today to national distribution. Discussions could also be had regarding the diversification that is happening. Great opportunities to teach state and national geography as well.
