Lewis and Clark Journals

Once in the computer lab, use the following timelines to help direct your thinking:

http://www.lewisandclarkexhibit.org/4_0_0/4_1_0_supportingdocs/lewisclark_timeline.pdf

http://www.pbs.org/lewisandclark/archive/idx_time.html

Choose five (5) days or journal entries from the expedition of significance from this site:

http://www.pbs.org/lewisandclark/archive/idx_jou.html

This is a sortable database. You can sort by individual dates or a range of dates. I suggest looking at a range of dates a week or so after the event you wish to learn about. You can also search dates like your birthday, random dates, or days that your curious about.

Please don't choose a day with only a few words or nothing going on at all. This is where the timeline comes in handy. Choose dates where something happened or a range of dates around this event.

Provide the following either sent to me in Google Docs or on a handwritten piece of paper:
1. Date of the Journal Entry
2. Author of the Jounral (s)
3. A description of what happened

Once completed, post one of these in Edmodo by Friday
