This website and the accompanying texts and resources are designed to serve students of all ages and their teachers.
We have found that there are scant resources for teaching young children and college students about the history and geography of Los Angeles, Ventura and Orange Counties.
The text and resources for young readers is designed primarily to meet the needs of third grade students, their parents and their teachers.
The text and resources for adult readers is designed to meet the needs of students enrolled in lower-division courses in the history and/or geography of Southern California
There are chapters about each of the major historical eras.
There are chapters about major topics of geographic interest - weather & climate, agriculture, earthquakes, etc.
Each chapter will have, perhaps at some point, both version for elementary school students, and one for college students.
