- Tell participants that since they have spent some time identifying where their migratory families come from, it’s time to discuss the type of work families seek.
- As discussed during the first activity, migratory work is either seasonal or temporary. The activities associated with each will vary by state and even by district, in some instances.
- Have participants review the list of activities on the screen (and in their Outline, p. 4); discuss any activities participants are unfamiliar with or have questions about.
- Ask participants to talk with their table groups about which column of activities is temporary and which is seasonal. Ask that they justify their responses.
- Click to display the correct labels for each column, and discuss if needed. Have participants label the columns in their Outline.
- Allow participants an additional minute or two to discuss other migratory agricultural or fisher work that may be conducted in the state and whether the work fits into the seasonal or temporary category.
