Directions:__ Please click on the following links to read **primary source** accounts of the California Gold Rush.

__Directions:__ After completing the **APPARTS** chart for one of the primary sources, your task is to step into the shoes of the person you have just read about. Therefore, you will assume the role of either a white male, a female, or an African American during the California Gold Rush. You will create a ONE PAGE journal entry from the "shoes" of this person. Your journal should include reasons for being involved in the gold rush, challenges that are faced daily, and how your life has changed since the discovery of gold. When you are done please print your journal and give it to me!
