The exciting adventure story is the KEYSTONE to a grade-wide/school-wide curricular study.
The accompanying Discovery Activities and lesson plans include:
– Literature, of course!
– Math (And a bit of history): The price of gold and silver in 1893, the carrying capacity of a saddlebag, how many ounces of gold, what each saddlebag was worth, distances/time traveled between “secret locations” by horse, train speeds, and more!
– History (Wow! Where can you go with this?): History of Durango; all about Native Americans’ origins, culture, and cliff dwellings; Pike’s Peak Gold Rush; mining techniques of the 1890s; trains and transportation; the National Parks, their history and establishment; Aztecs and their origins, civilization, and demise; Spanish Conquistadors and their explorations, exploits, and Inquisition; and so much more!
– Social Studies: Historic treatment and today’s challenges of the Native Americans; the Spanish expansion into the New World; early U.S. land ownership issues, and history of rights for women, children, etc.
– Science (My favorite!): Geology, biology, ethnobotany, paleontology, dinosaurs, astronomy, archeology, anthropology, environmental issues, sustainability, conservation, survival skills, and more!
– Character Education: Empowerment, cooperation, joyful living, respect for others; so much to share!
– Art & Drama: Students are encouraged to participate in contests. Draw a scene(s) from the book; photograph or create a video of nature described in the book; or put on a play. Submit your projects to be displayed in the Dino Diane's Art Gallery.
– Foreign Language: French, of course! Spanish too!
