To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a paragraph from the Learning Guide to Barbary Coast.
In 1848, gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill near San
Francisco. Gold fever gripped the nation and thousands of
men left the East for the gold fields. The mining camps and
towns that grew up in or near the gold fields were almost
exclusively populated by men. The only women were
prostitutes, "Mexicans" or "Indians," who, according to the
prejudices of the time, were considered to be about the same.
There were very few "white" women. Along with the
prospectors came those who were ready to take the
prospectors' gold in gambling halls or by selling equipment
and supplies to them at inflated prices.
The Learning Guide to Barbary Coast also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
