Read the following project description and choose the best answer to the question about the project.

The fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Kralick is feeling a bit grouchy.  Her principal informed the staff yesterday that he wants to see increased emphasis on meeting content standards.  As she plans her next project focused on California geography and history--a project in which students create a sugar cube model of a California mission--she decides to include an oral presentation in which students present their findings on a selected topic in California history.  She also adds a short story and a book report on Ishi, one of the last California Indians representative of an old Indian tribal culture.  In her planning book, she lists the following standards to be met in the project.

1. Students will demonstrate an understanding of the physical and human geographic features that define places and regions in California.
   
2. Students describe the social, political, cultural, and economic life and interactions among people of California from the pre-Columbian societies to the Spanish mission and Mexican rancho periods.

She notes in her book that Standard #1 has five benchmarks related to grid systems and geographical coordinates, regions of California and physical environments, the locations of major landforms that affect location of towns, and the use of maps and charts to show how communities differ in land use, vegetation, climate, and population density.  Standard #2 has seven benchmarks related to California Indians, Spanish exploration, the mission system, daily life in early California, the role of the Franciscans, the Mexican War for Independence in Alta California, and land grants and the rancho economy.
