NOTES
To introduce the Westward Expansion unit I would
have the students plan a 2,000 mile family car trip. They would have
to: plan the route by map, determine approximately how long the trip
would take, decide what to take on this trip and figure out a budget
for the trip including food, cost of fuel, and accommodations.
During the course of the unit the students would work on a
similar trip but back in the 1800's from Independence, Missouri to
the west coast.
Try to get your students to imagine that they were the brave
pioneers in the 1800's and have them create experiences of their
journey across the country.
