4th grade humanities
This week, we will continue our unit on the California Gold Rush. Learners will watch documentary clips highlighting the discovery of gold, how Manifest Destiny and newspaper propaganda played a role in the gold rush, and what life was like in the gold mining camps. Additionally, learners will read and examine primary source documents on these same topics. Learners will integrate their background knowledge of life during the gold rush into their journal entries as they narrative their character's journey to, and life in, California during this time period. Learners will also engage in Writers' Workshop mini lessons on using sensory details to describe the setting(s) of their character's journey.
We will continue reading By The Great Horn Spoon and using the book as a mentor text for our California Gold Rush unit.
