Gold Rush Extensions
( I loved it so much I want to do more!)

 

Looking for more to do?

1. Add slides, pictures, or graphics to your presentation.

2. Continue research:

Go to: KidClick | Ask Jeeves for Kids | Searchopolis

Find 4-6 relevant sites that would provide more information about the Gold Rush or answers to questions you still have. Create a presentation on Hyperstudio to share with the class.

3. Find information on the Great San Francisco Fire and how it affected the Gold Rush.

4. Go to Britanica.com and look up famous 49'ers.

5. Create a board game that takes players along the trails west in search of gold!
