Unit Orientation The teacher begins the lesson by getting
the students to tell her what a gold coin is
made out of and what a golden nugget is
made and then will ask the students if it is
the same thing.
LESSON 1

Building knowledge of the
field
The teacher will firstly do a KWL chart with
the students to find out what they already
know. The teacher will then show the
students a short movie clip about the gold
rush.

Throughout the learning experiences the
starting of the lesson is mostly always
teaching the students background
information.
