Thursday 12.13 Lewis & Clark Project

Good Morning,

Let's get the Preamble test out of the way. On the paper provided please write the Preamble word for word. Extra credit for summaries of any Articles and Amendments.

Read below to understand the Lewis and Clark project we discussed on Tuesday.

We are going to recreate the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Each group will study a range of dates.

Your goal is to help the class relive the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Like retelling the story as if you were on the trip. This is not a "presentation" think about it more like story time.
  1. Create artifacts and props to make your section of the expedition real. 
  2. Include large map of area covered in your section.
  3. Explain what the team went through in your section, you'll lead the class through the expeditions experience.
  4. Explain unfamiliar terms like: "prairie goat" and "portable soup" and others

Group 1: Overview of the Expedition and events leading up to the team leaving. (include Thomas Jefferson, gathering supplies, scary challenges ahead, etc.) Really important that this group builds up the anxiety, the unknown, the sense of wonder before going where no American has gone before.
Group 2:  May 14, 1804 - August 30, 1804
Group 3: September 4, 1804 - December 31, 1804
Group 4: January 1, 1805 - May 30, 1805
Group 5: June 1, 1805 - December 31, 1805
Group 6: 1806
Group 7: After the trip.
