A.+Unit+Overview

  From 1849 through most of the 1850’s, San Francisco was one of the most rip-roaring cities on Earth. Each day San Francisco built an average of 30 new houses and witnessed two murders and one fire. Its young, heavily armed, largely male populace drank at more than 500 bars and placed bets at more than 1000 gambling dens. Eggs went for six dollars a dozen and landlords collected windfall of mother lode of rentals for canvas shanties, abandoned ship hulls, and rooms in tinderbox houses. Fed on a diet of gold from the Sierra mines, San Francisco burgeoned into a major seaport in one year, bringing a wealth of both population and cargo that is still evident today. The students will spend time researching and learning about this period of time in our state’s history. They will gain a greater understanding of what caused the great migration west and will learn to appreciate the trials and tribulations of those who sought to make a better life for themselves. They will have an opportunity to learn the vocabulary of this era while they are playing fun and informative games. Through the integration of visuals such as bulletin boards and game boards, as well as partaking in research and discussions the students will develop an integrated understanding of what this time period was like.    || • **Subject : **History & Social Science  || • **Grade : **Grade Four  || • **Area : **California: A Changing State Students learn the story of their home state, unique in American history in terms of its vast and varied geography, its many waves of immigration beginning with pre-Columbian societies, its continuous diversity, economic energy, and rapid growth. In addition to the specific treatment of milestones in California history, students examine the state in the context of the rest of the nation, with an emphasis on the U.S. Constitu-tion and the relationship between state and federal government. <span style="font-family: Verdana;

The state of California was transformed during this period. Prior to the Gold Rush, California was mainly a sparsely settled Mexican frontier territory made up of a handful of seaport towns, dozens of Native American tribes, sll farms and large ranches. The Gold Rush turned this state into the prime destination it is today and was bombarded with adventurous, gold-seeking people from all over the world. Before the end of this period California had joined the Union, hundreds of thousands of emigrants had arrived, gold worth millions of dollars was found.

This created the ethnic and racial diversity that exists in California today. The pouring in of racial and ethnic groups created a tremendously diverse population and with that diversity came many challenges. We have been studying all about the Gold Rush for weeks now and this lesson is towards the end of the unit and asks students to consider the challenges that many were presented with due to the huge influx of people entering the state and seeking to make their fortune. __ <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> __<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Students will play a game of Kickball on the school playground.

In order to do this, they must first find out answers to the following questions regarding the Gold Rush of 1849:

1) How did the miners reach the gold fields? What problems did this trip cause?

2) What did the miners do once they reached the fields?

3) What kind of equipment did they need for mining? What other goods did they need?

4) Were there any problems caused by these needs? How did they get the supplies that they needed?

5) Did any of the mining cause harm to the environment?

6) What kind of problems arose in the mining towns before there were laws? What laws were needed?

Once the answers to these questions have been answered, they will come up with solutions to each of the problems. __ <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">The first literature tie-in is the book __//__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">“Hurry Freedom: African Americans in Gold Rush California”, __//__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> by Jerry Stanley. This book gives students an opportunity to understand the growing diversity that was taking place in California during this particular time in our nation’s history. It tells the story of the African-American forty-niners who went west to seek fortunes and freedom in the California Gold Rush. The plight is recounted through the personal experiences of Mifflin Gibbs and Peter Lester. Prejudice was running rampant and life was not easy. These two men persevered and were able to succeed where many had failed. Their efforts included support from the Underground Railroad and behind the scenes lobbying to make life a better for African-Americans in California. __ <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">The next piece of literature we have selected to extend the impact of these lessons is the book __//__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">“Precious Gold, Precious Jade”, __//__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> by Sharon E.

His "magic," however, is his careful observation of people, kind heart, and keen understanding of human nature. __ __<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">The students will put on a play that tells the story of their mining groups that they have been working on throughout the entire gold rush unit. The students were required to create step by step their own experience as miner during this time. Their play will have to correlate with all the projects they have completed and tell their story of their experience as miners during this time. For example one of their first assignments was to keep a five day journal of how they traveled to California and why. So their play will start here acting out what they have written. The rest of their lessons were also given to them in a time line that will correlate with writing a play in the correct order. This is a fun way to tie together this unit for the students. It gives them a chance to show what they have learned and include some of everything they did in the unit. A synthesis project is something that ties a lot of different pieces together and this play will do just that. The play also allows the unit to include some performing arts in this gold rush unit. So the last day as what would be the unit test will be each mining group performing their play for the class. __ __<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">PBS Kids ____<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> PBS Kids has a wide variety of short clips on The Gold Rush and sub-contents such as The Mexican-American War, Mining, and missions.
