Tonight, you will brainstorm ideas for part 2. Tomorrow, you will use your graphic organizer to write me a 5 paragraph narrative. Click here for an article on the Oregon Trail.
Part 1
When pioneer families moved west,
they packed only the most important belongings.
Imagine your parents just sold your house and bought a covered
wagon. You can keep only three outfits, two books, and one toy. Which
items will you choose and why?
- Draw pictures of each object
- Include labels
- Explain why Each object was chosen
Write a story explaining your experience on the
Oregon Trail using at least five of these words: Missouri, prairie, wagon train, dog,
sunbonnet, Indians, campfire, thunderstorm, river, Idaho. You must also write 5 paragraphs.
You may want to answer some or all of the following questions:
- Write in the form of journal entries (5 entries=1 paragraph each)
- What is your first and last name?
- Who is in your family?
- Who are you traveling with?
- Tell me about yourself
- What are your dreams?
- Where you are traveling from?
- Why you are leaving the east?
- What did you see on the trip?
- How did you feel on the trip?
