Description
In 2023, Arizona was ranked ninth in population growth of the 50 states in the United States. With a current population of about 7 million, Arizona is growing by about 10 percent each year. In this mini-lesson, students will research and create a timeline expressing the reasons for Arizona’s population increases through the eras. They will also choose a perspective and a time period for which to explain their reason to leave or stay in Arizona.Author
