4th grade humanities
This week, we will continue our unit on the California Gold Rush. Learners will watch documentary clips highlighting what everyday life was like for miners and examine primary source journal entries of miners from 1851. Learners will also research gold mining techniques. On Thursday and Friday, they will learn about the many diverse groups of people involved in the gold rush and the discrimination these groups faced.
Learners will integrate the new information they are learning about the gold rush into their journal entries as they narrate their character's journey to, and life in, California during this time period. Learners will also engage in Writers' Workshop mini lesson around adding dialogue to their journal entries. We will continue reading By The Great Horn Spoon and using the book as a mentor text for our California Gold Rush unit.
