Day 2

Hello! We are now into the second day of our journey. Today, the students will work on a group project. They will use the website titled All About the Trail to gather information. After finding information, each group will create a poster to present to the class. This will help the entire class understand more about the Oregon Trail. The posters will be hung in the classroom for the entire class to use as a reference for the remainder of our Oregon Trail unit.





Each student will also post a new blog entry. The prompt for today is: Imagine for a moment that you are going on a 4 month trip in your family van. You will be traveling through a remote wilderness and there will be no place to stop for food or supplies. What would you take along? Make a list and explain why each item is necessary. I look forward to reading each student's blog to see what is most important to them.





Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns. This has been a fun and exciting unit so far!
