The Gold Rush

My dear Reader,

This lesson is the third part of a unit of American West on the settlers; It looks at the Gold Rush of 1849. It aims to have students matching general knowledge on the 49ers with a 4 marks question.

All lessons have a same-model structure to get the students taught in a coherent manner, and always understand where they are at in their learning:

First slide- understanding the reasons of the Rush
Second slide understanding the dangers and consequences
Third slide evaluating the opinion of the locals witha 4 marks exam question.
All tasks are assessed.
An extension task is completed.
The resources are at the end of the Power Point.

The resources are at the end of the Power Point. I made a set on Plain Indians, Settlers and Development of the Plains, Law and Order, Law and Crime, the full unit (24 lessons £7.71).
