\nObjective: Students learn to write a narrative by selecting one of the provided prompts.  \nNarrative Writing  \nNarrative writing is a style of writing that tells a story, typically though the use of characters and a plot.  \nSelect one of the three prompts below and write a paragraph on a separate sheet of paper. As you write your story, remember to:  \n• Be sure that your story includes a beginning, middle, and end.  \n• Use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization.  \n• Write in complete sentences.  \nPrompt \\#1:  \nImagine that one day you discover a gold nugget worth one million dollars. Write a story about what happens after you find the nugget.  \nPrompt \\#2:  \nYou have just been on a field trip to Reed Gold Mine. Write a story about your experiences atthe North Carolina state historic site.  \nPrompt \\#3:  \nWrite a story about an important event that has occurred in your life. Explain why the event was important and how it changed your life.  \nLanguage Arts  \nSection II: Oral Tradition Stories  \nObjective: Students learn about oral traditions, stories that have been passed down generations through word of mouth, by reading a short text and answer critical thinking questions. Vocabulary words are bolded and are defined in  \nSection III.  \nEnslaved Labor in North Carolina Gold Mines  \nEnslaved peoples who worked at gold mines generally labored during the agricultural off seasons, when crops were sowed or harvested. They were forced to do some of the most dangerous work. Gold mine operators, in search of quick profits, often made enslaved men dig directly into hillsides without giving them time or opportunity to make sure the roof was secure. Because of that, cave-ins frequently occurred and sometimes the enslaved men were killed.  \nSome enslaved peoples were able to earn money while working in the mines, which they used to buy their freedom. Some were paid a set wage or were allowed to keep a small percentage of the gold they mined. Enslaved miners also earned money by doing extra work, such as washing laundry or making candles to sell, and could earn up to $30.00. Typically, enslaved peoples were not forced to labor on Sundays and certain holidays. Many spent their limited free time to prospect on their own.  \nOverseers did not trust enslaved peoples and watched them carefully to make sure they didn’t escape. Whenever an opportunity arose, however, many enslaved peoples did seize the chance to escape their enslavers and head north to freedom. One advertisement described Reuben and his wife, Jinney, who were both enslaved peoples, and how their enslaver thought they were hiding in or near Smart’s Mine in Mecklenburg County. John K. Harrison of Mecklenburg county made a claim in 1837 that one of his enslaved people was “lurking about Reed’s Gold Mine.” His claim was never authenticated.  \n1. Besides cave-ins, what other dangers do you think enslaved peoples faced while working in gold mines?  \n2. What are some other ways enslaved peoples might have earned money?  \n3. We know that some enslaved peoples were able to escape their enslavers. What do you think the consequences were for those who were captured and returned to the mines?  \nPeter’s Nugget  \nIn 1803, an","cbCaib8BkZheckM9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib8BkZheckM9","pdf",502362,24,"English","# Section I: Writing Prompts\n## Narrative Writing\n# Section II: Oral Tradition Stories\n## Enslaved Labor in North Carolina Gold Mines\n## Peter’s Nugget\n## John Reed’s Values","[{\"question\":\"What is the goal of the narrative writing prompts in Section I?\",\"answer\":\"Students learn to write a narrative by selecting one of the provided prompts and drafting a paragraph on a separate sheet of paper.\"},{\"question\":\"What must students include in their narrative stories?\",\"answer\":\"Stories should include a beginning, middle, and end, and use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization in complete sentences.\"},{\"question\":\"What type of material and activity does Section II include?\",\"answer\":\"Section II uses oral tradition stories: students read a short text and answer critical thinking questions based on the reading.\"}]","Teacher’s Guide - Language Arts - August 2020 | PDF",1790886830,37]
