The Oregon Trail

You must decide the role that each person in your group will play. You will need 1 mother, 1 father, and 2 children. Each person will be responsible for a different category of items.

The mother must bring the most important things related to clothing.

The father must bring things related to travel, including animals, wagons, etc.

The children will be responsible for food.

Use the following links for your research. Make sure you choose your items based on the information found in your research. http://www.oregontrailcenter.org/HistoricalTrails/Supplies.htm                                                          https://sites.google.com/site/packingprovisionsfororegon/home                                                                              http://www.oregonpioneers.com/FoodChoices.htm

Create your poster board as a group with pictures of each item.

Create a works cited of the sources you used.

Present your poster board to the class and explain why you chose each item.
