Let's join the gold rush and see if we can find some gold! In this one-time class, we will discuss the California Gold Rush of 1848. We will discuss: How and where it started. What kind of people mined for gold. How they mined for gold. What was left behind...Ghost towns that you can visit today. We will discuss the effect on Indigenous People and on the Asian community, such as, racism that was experienced, and treatment of Indigenous People, African Americans and Asians. Included will be unfair taxation, etc... (Sources below.) I will use powerpoint, film and discussion to lead the class. I am very patient and upbeat. Learners will interact through questions and answers. There is no prior experience needed except to pay attention to the discussion. This will be led very much like my Oregon Trail class. I also incorporate games, such as BINGO whenever possible.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I have had an interest in western history since I was a child. My great-uncles worked on the shows Wagon Train and Laramie among others providing horses, wagons and stuntmen. My goal in college was to teach history. I was also a docent at the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum in the mid- 1990's.
I went to college to teach middle and high school English and History. I have taught full-time, substitute taught all grades, and volunteered at the Autry museum in L.A.
