Class Discussion
After having read and participated in the activities in our “Early California” unit, imagine you are living in 1840 on the east coast of the United States. You have decided to move west to California Territory. Some people in your family think this is a bad decision, that you should stay put and not venture into the unknown. Defend your choice to make the move, discussing how you will get to California Territory, the geography and climate of where you will live and how that will affect you and how you will make your living there, and why you have chosen to leave behind what you know.
 * __Discussion Guidelines/Expectations__**
 * 1) Navigate to our discussion board and make your initial post by Friday, July 12, 2013. Be sure to discuss all 3 parts of the prompt:
 * 2) How you will get to California Territory
 * 3) Geography/climate of where you will live and its effects on how you make your living
 * 4) Why you are moving to California Territory
 * 5) By Wednesday, July 17, 2013, give a counter-argument to at least two other peoples’ posts from the perspective of a family member who is trying to get the person to stay, and not move to California. Give at least two reasons why they should not go, based on what the person posted, and the facts from our readings and activities in this unit.
