"Gold Dust or Bust" presents the highlights of the great stampede of 49ers to the California goldfields. Guiding us on our tour is the remarkable Luzena Wilson¿wife, professional cook, innkeeper, commodities gambler, banker, and founder of a city¿and her friend Becky, who "tends to lie a bit." 30 minutes; grades 2-6. /// WHAT IT DOES: "Gold Dust or Bust" is a great complement to your curriculum resources in social studies. And, like all Bad Wolf Press plays, this show can be used to improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, performance and speaking skills, class camaraderie and teamwork, and school engagement and parental involvement¿all while enabling students to be part of a truly fun and creative experience they will never forget!
