Today in history we learned more about the Oregon Country. We discussed the geography of the territory, and the countries that all had claims on the region in the early 1800s (the US, Britain, Spain, and Russia). We took a 6-8 Quiz on the Oregon Country and then finished class by reading about "One Family's Journey," the story of Caddy Appleton and her family as they traveled from Independence, MO, to Oregon City, OR.
The homework for tonight is to finish the Appleton's story. What happened to Ma, Pa, Caddy, Jem, and Baby Sarah? Did they ever see Grammy again? What about Tall Grass Waving? Write 3/4 of a page to 1 page telling us your version of the "rest of the story."
