Experience the gold rush through the eyes of industrious young Amelia as she sets o on an adventure in an attempt to help her family make ends meet. Note to Readers. In a classroom setting, Newsgirl can be used to introduce students to the history of the California Gold Rush as well as open a discussion about gender roles. Given the obstacles faced by Amelia faces because she is girl, Newsgirl demonstrates the historical roles of women, while providing a character to help build insight into gender roles. Genre - Chapter Book Classification - Historical Fiction Approximate Age Level - 10 & up Multicultural Classification - Melting Pot Personal Reflection - This book was a slow read for me but it was a great portrayal of the Gold Rush time period and women's right. It was definitely well-researched. It was also definitely a nice change to see a female as the heroine. This book could be used to discuss gender stereotypes, family relationships, and character changes. After reaading the novel, students can pretend to be "newsgirls" or "newsboys" and write their own newspapers. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
