Grade: 4
*This is an introductory lesson I taught during my student teaching internship.
1. Read aloud “Across the Oregon Trail in a Covered Wagon” story about the Dockens family. This story discusses the route the pioneers took, the dangers and illnesses on the route, various landmarks, forts, shortcuts, activities, and ways of life for the pioneers on the Oregon Trail.
2. Have students color the worksheet as directed during the story.
