The California Gold Rush
Task
Your task is to create a comprehensive multimedia guide in the form of a Keynote presentation in order to explain the economic, social, and political life in California during the Gold Rush. You are NOT just creating a report about the Gold Rush. You and your "travel team" will take what you have learned about the Gold Rush, along with all the exciting details and primary sources you're about to discover to create a Keynote presentation. This presentation will act as a virtual tour guide for anyone wishing to visit the time of the Gold Rush.
You will work with your teacher assigned "travel team" to thoroughly research and collect data, images, and primary sources about the following topics.
- Travel Routes
- Mining Camp Life
- Towns and Cities of the Gold Rush
- Getting Rich during the Gold Rush
- Women of the Gold Rush
