All my best stuff comes from teachers. That's why I was so glad to get an email from Frenchtown teacher Allen McCarty, recommending the video The Bozeman Trail: A Rush to Montana's Gold, which is available at WyomingPBS and on YouTube. It runs an hour and a half but he says his students liked it because of its high production value (and I'm sure you can excerpt it.) I've added it, as Allen suggested, to the video resources listed on the Educator Resources page that accompanies Montana: Stories of the Land, Chapter 6, "Montana's Gold and Silver Boom".
What resources do you use that you think other teachers might benefit from? What's your go-to, no-fail, Montana history or IEFA lesson? Let me know by completing our annual, end-of-the-year survey, and I'll share it with your fellow teachers next fall. Bonus: We're offering prizes to the eighteenth, twenty-eighth, thirty-eighth, and forty-eighth person to complete the survey.
