You are going to imagine that you and your family have gone on the journey on the Oregon Trail. You are going to tell all about the supplies needed, the preparation it took to get ready for the journey, and the hardships along the way. You will have to tell your family what supplies were absolutely necessary for survival, so that if they decide to make the journey, they will have everything they need. Will you tell them about ALL the hardships that you endured, and will you be able to persuade them to take the journey? Out of all of your family, who do you think will come?
