Wagons, Ho! Created by Allison Deane

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel across the country in a covered wagon? Well, here is your chance!!! Over the next few weeks, you will be learning about how pioneers packed up everything they had, and traveled across the country in a covered wagon. So fasten your seatbelts, and get ready to become a pioneer from the 1800’s!

Before you leave for your journey West, you will need the following items: If You Traveled West in a Covered Wagon by Ellen Levine Pens/Pencils KTWL Chart Venn Diagram Journal/Diary Computer with an Internet connection Native American Indian Tribe Study worksheet

Meet with the members of your wagon train group and do a 5-minute picture walk of the book If You Traveled West in a Covered Wagon by Ellen Levine. Then, take out your KTWL chart and fill out the first two sections with your group: What You Know/Think You Know About Traveling West in a Covered Wagon, and What You Want to Learn About Traveling West in a Covered Wagon (see next slide).

When you have finished reading If You Traveled West in a Covered Wagon by Ellen Levine, go back to your KTWL Chart and add more information into the last section: What I Learned About Traveling West in a Covered Wagon.

Now that you have become an expert on the Oregon Trail, you will assume a pioneer identity and write a diary entry about what a day traveling West in a covered wagon is like. Go to the hat in the front of the room, and pull out an identity. You will be writing your diary entry from the point of view of your identity. See the next slide for what you need to include.

In your diary entry, I want you to include the following things: Why you left home and what you brought with you Your feelings about traveling West Who are you traveling with What are some things you have seen on your journey Describe 2 major hardships you have already faced on your journey Include at least three things that you learned from reading If You Traveled West in a Covered Wagon by Ellen Levine, and underline them.

Now that you know what it was like to be a pioneer on the Oregon Trail, I want you to learn what it was like to be a Native American living along the Oregon Trail. Your job is to pick one of the following Native American Tribes on the following slide, and complete the Native American Indian Tribe Study worksheet. You will use this information to write a journal entry from the point of view of a Native American living in the 1800’s along the Oregon Trail. You will then read this journal entry to the members of your wagon train. Good luck! Don’t forget to use the rubric to guide your writing!

If You Traveled West in a Covered Wagon by Ellen Levine

Students need teacher to model how to complete the KTWL chart and the Venn Diagram. Make sure to give the students one or two examples of how to fill out the Venn Diagram based on the information from the text. You may want to decide who your students are going to be partners with for this activity to avoid future problems. Go to your local library or school library and find some read aloud texts about Native Americans to give your students some background knowledge about what it was like to be a Native American in the west during the 1800’s.
