Your students will travel back in time and become a pioneer on the Oregon Trail. They will research about life on the trail and keep a journal of their adventure, along with packing a virtual trunk with items needed for the long journey.
This is a great cross-curricular activity!
This is a great project that incorporates research skills, writing and speaking.
Each child will research an assigned president, write a brief biography, record themselves reading the biography, and link it to a QR code.
This packet includes:
- directions
- research questions
- writing outline
- grading rubrics
As your students prepare to travel along the Oregon Trail they need to get packed. They will choose items and place them in their Virtual Trunk. This PowerPoint lays each slide out for the student, all they need to do is add their information.
Great for a first experience working with PowerPoint!
