The discovery of gold on the Fraser River began one the greatest gold rushes in our country's history. Later gold was also found in the Cariboo country. Watch the videos and research the importance of gold to the history of British Columbia and confederation. Create an Adobe Spark video about the British Columbia Gold rush.
Research should include:
How the gold rush started
A map of the areas where the gold rush took place
How to pan for gold
The Caribou trail
Barkerville
Dangers faced by early miners
Why the gold rush led to confederation.
You must first use the above videos and the following links to write a draft of your script and have it approved before you start making your spark. You may use photos from Spark or Public Commons photos in your video. Use photos and drawings from the time to make your Spark.

The Royal British Columbia Museum
You will be marked on the clarity of your oral presentation, the amount and detail of the information you present, the appropriate choice of photographs and your ability to present your findings in your own words.
You should have at least ten pages to your presentation to highlight key information you find.
