The Oregon
Public Broadcasting video program, The Oregon
Story: Ports, contributes to understanding the land we know
as Oregon today and the history of our involvement with it. It
also raises important issues about the role of international trade
in Oregon. Suggestions1 provided in this
guide demonstrate ways to support and supplement the exploration
of this history in the context of Oregon Department of Education
Content Standards and Benchmarks. Suggestions include activities,
explorations, field excursions, and further adventures in reading
and viewing.
Objectives
The Oregon Story: Ports has
four major objectives which are to promote:
- an understanding about how ports and trade have contributed
to Oregon’s history and development;
- a perspective about change that is occurring in the management
of Oregon’s shipping and trade resources;
- critical thinking about the care, use, and management of
Oregon’s natural resources;
- incentive to celebrate the history, celebrate the present,
and celebrate the possibilities of the future of Oregon.
1 Many of the suggestions support Oregon Department of Education
CIM and CAM benchmarks.
