What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students explain why people can view the same event differently. They look at how jobs, costs, laws, and social position work together to shape those views. They compare examples from the past and present.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can explain why a factory worker, a farmworker, and an employer might disagree about a 1938 wage law. They can compare those reasons with views on California's 2024 fast-food wage law and use a detail from each case.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may assume everyone in one era had the same interests. They may think the 1938 wage law covered farmworkers, or name one cause without considering how costs and legal exclusions worked together.
How to Assess It
- Ask: Why might a 1938 factory worker and farmworker view the wage law differently? Then name one reason a California fast-food worker and restaurant owner might disagree about the 2024 wage law.

Ways to Teach It
Give groups role cards for the 1938 wage law and California's 2024 fast-food wage law; connect each person's job, costs, and interests with string.
Ask students to write why a 1938 factory worker and farmworker might react differently to the wage law, using two linked reasons.
Have pairs draw a rent, sales, or legal coverage card, then revise a worker's and an owner's arguments aloud.
Compare a current fast-food job posting with a grocery flyer; write how a worker and owner might view a proposed raise.
