During our Journey on the Oregon Trail, students will be recording their thoughts into a journal entries as if they were a pioneer on the trail themselves. We will read a few examples of diary entries from fictional pioneers so that the students can have a more authentic understanding of a pioneer's lifestyle.
The following is a link to a PDF file of a book entitled: Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie. We will be reading several diary entries in class about a families decision to take the Journey West.
