You will write 4 entries of a diary from the early 1800s. Each entry will be one paragraph each and is to be written in first pe
rson (using the word I, as if you are that person on the expedition). This will be a description from the perspective of 4 people who were part of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In a paragraph for each, describe the journey/experience of Lewis, Clark, Sacajawea, and York from each person’s perspective (their voice).
Read the lesson to learn about the historic events that took place during the Lewis and Clark Expedition to give examples and historic accuracy to your diary!
Topics to consider including: background/personality traits of the individual, role the individual played in the journey, feelings about the journey, conditions (terrain, food and insects/animals) how the individual interacted with others, unique information from the lesson.
1. Day 12 of our expedition, I am so glad that we had Sacajawea with us! She is a great guide and helps us navigate in this crazy ecosystem. Her ways are none that I have seen ever in my life, she knows this land by heart. Maybe I can learn the ways of her too and I will be extremely formidable in my soon to be home.
2. I can't help with this since I don't know the lesson to learn.
