Learning Guide Excerpt
To demonstrate how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers to supplement lesson plans, 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 the film Barbary Coast 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.
