Each lesson plan includes at least one suggested written assignment so that you can assess how students are learning. The video programs suggested in each case study under Recommended videos will add visual support to the lesson in the classroom. KCTS Instructional Television, at various times throughout the school year, broadcasts the suggested programs. This will tell you when the program is broadcast so that you can record it for use in the classroom. These case studies have been prepared by the Magnuson Partnership, a project of the Port of Seattle and King County, to help students learn about careers in international trade and transportation.
