SUMMARY:Teacher Workshop – Building the Transcontinental Railroad: The Ch
 inese Experience
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated as a technical marvel in its day\, the first transco
 ntinental railroad was constructed from 1863 to 1869\, due largely to the 
 contributions of Chinese workers who cut through the mountains and deserts
  of the American West. Thousands of men migrated from China to seek fortun
 es in the gold mines of California but\, instead\, mainly found work build
 ing the transcontinental railroads. They experienced racism\, lower wages\
 , and difficult working conditions.\n\nThis workshop focuses on art and cu
 rriculum resources to incorporate this often overlooked history of Chinese
  laborers into the classroom.\n\nTHE WORKSHOP INCLUDES:\n• Guided tour a

 \n• Training to utilize Storypath Curriculum "The Transcontinental Railr
 oad: The Chinese Experience from Golden Mountain to Golden Spike"\n• Sto
 rypath curriculum unit provided\, including teacher handbook and reproduci
 ble handouts.\n• Lunch and beverages included\n• 4 Clock Hours from PS
