Learn about the Wyoming gold rush that occurred in South Pass City, and explore the varied perspectives of the people who experienced the gold rush in the 1840’s-1860’s.
In the accompanying lesson plan (found in the Support Materials), students will watch a video that introduces the gold rush and the people who were impacted by it, and then hold a discussion to understand the multiple perspectives. Then, the students take part in a creative writing activity in which they create a piece of text from one of the perspectives.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Students will develop grade level appropriate speaking and listening skills, as described by the standards. Students will learn how to write a fictional narrative based on nonfiction resources, following a set of parameters. Students will understand the motivations and perspectives of various people during the Wyoming gold rush.

This is my final project for Education Technology at Fairfield University, taught by Professor Elliott. I chose to focus on Storybird, an online and app-base platform that allows students to write their own stories while utilizing illustrator grade drawings to elevate their tales. The platform also allows for students to explore writing lessons and become stronger writers while flexing their creative muscles.

Stories and poems that have a familiar structure can create a supportive context for learning about the writing process, building students' background knowledge, and scaffolding their creation of original stories. In this lesson for students in second or late first grade, teachers help students explore the concepts of beginning, middle, and ending by reading a variety of stories and charting the events on storyboards. As they retell the stories, students are encouraged to make use of sequencing words (first, so, then, next, after that, finally). A read-aloud of Once Upon a Golden Apple by Jean Little and Maggie De Vries introduces a discussion of the choices made by an author in constructing a plot. Starting with prewriting questions and a storyboard, students construct original stories, progressing from shared writing to guided writing; independent writing is also encouraged.
