Today was a Lewis & Clark Expedition day-
Our starter was: What dangers do explorers face? How do they prepare for those dangers?
We reviewed the situation on America's Western frontier - the importance of the rivers and New Orleans to the farmers. We introduced the Louisiana Purchase and the purposes of the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
We watched a National Geographic video on Lewis & Clark - it is called Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West. It is a good introduction to the Lewis & Clark Expedition and is available on Netflix if you are interested in watching at home.
