What to do?



Lets go back over 200 years and put ourselves in the minds of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Thomas Jefferson dispatched these two ment to find a water route across North America. "The Corps of discovery," as they were so called were thought to run in to woolly mammoths, erupting valcanoes and a mountain of pure salt. The journey you will be taking is very mind-boggoling and different. You don't know what you will see on this journey or know what will happen.




There will be three roles you will be playing during this project. The three characters will be: Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and Sacajewea. Based on your readings, you will understand the character you will be playing and must pick one of the three. The characters will be under roles 1,2, and 3. You will begin your journey from the Missouri river and explore the pacific. On this epic voyage, you will write down a journal containing as much information as possible. Your journey will last two years from 1804 to 1806 and consist of many things you have not seen before. (Animals Found by the men)
In addition to what you already need to do, you and your group will either make a video at home or present in front of the class. This role playing will last a minimum of ten minutes and you will be playing a role of the character you had to get information about. This assignment is a little bit more difficult but it is expected of you to try your best and make a good impression.
