It's been a long day at school and you're exhausted. You lay down to take a nap in the sun and begin to dream. Your dream takes you back into the late 1840's during the California Gold Rush...

Who do you see? Who are the people and what are they doing? Are you a gold miner or just a passer by? You're hungry, tired and low on cash (gold). Where will you sleep? How will you survive?

Take a look at this PowerPoint presentation to get you thinking about the big decision of joining the Gold Rush.
