Westward Movement Unit

We are now studying Westward Migration and reading historical novels from that time period. On Tuesday, Ms. Barnes will share artifacts from a Westward Migration Trunk on loan from Lane ESD. The trunk contains items that would be included in a family's covered wagon over the Oregon Trail. While listening to the presentation and examining the artifacts, students will take notes on why the items were included and how they would be used in daily life on the trail or at trail's end.
