The Life of a Forty-Niner
As you read about the lives of the 49ers, look for evidence that supports the idea that being a 49er was not easy. Do you think some of them regretted becoming prospectors? What is your evidence?
Keep reading and look for other evidence that supports the idea that you could strike it rich and make a fortune.
Post your paragraphs on http://kidblog.org/teacherp/. If you can, include a picture related to this topic.

Bonus: Use Google to try to learn how to pan for gold. Write directions in your own words summarizing this technique. Include a cool picture.

Mr. Prola there was a problem with kid blog it wouldn't let me type so I could not write either of my life as a 49er paragraphs. : (
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who this is, but I will help you in class tomorrow if you see me about the problem. Other people have been posting their assignments. Are you sure you typed in your password correctly? If you can't get in, make sure you have your two paragraphs written on binder paper.
