I think that it is interesting that they make butter by putting the bucket of cream under the wagon, and by the end of the day, the bucket would have butter in it!
I love the Oregon Trail it is a very fun unit I really loved the movie that we got to see in the forum it was great my favorite Character was the little girl she was very funny the movie taught me all about the Oregon trail!
I think it's interesting that they chose to travel all that way west! It's a long road and many people died but we probably wouldn't have all the stated up west if the pioneers didn't travel there and Washington is one of them. We'd have our capital in a different place!
I learned that since when you put the milk in the wagon it gets shacked into butter along the way. And they brought a cow with them so they get fresh milk not butter. Also what I learned is that if you went to early in the season there would be not as much grass and your oxen, etc would die.
I think that it's kinda interesting that you can only take important things on your trip but I do understand that somethings would be to heavy for the animals that were pulling the wagon but I can't think of leaving my things behind it sounds terrible but they were probably used to it!
I learned that the reasons why people wanted to go on the Oregon Trail was because people told stories about Oregon that made sound like a magical place, people wanted adventure, there was cheap land and in California there was a gold rush. It sounded like fun but it wasn't.
I would like to go on the Oregon Trail it sounds like a cool adventure and I would not want to go on the Oregon Trail because it is so long and I do not want to die on a wagon!!!! I LOVE THE OREGON TRAIL
The wagons are also called prairie schooners a schooner is a boat. They call it that because if the grass is tall enough it looks like the wagons are boats floating on a ocean of grass
I know a lot about the Oregon Trail!!! These are the things I know:
-If your traveling on the Oregon Trail, you can't pack much in your Wagon Train. -There is a leader to the wagon train. His job is to choose when to stop the wagon train should stop or when it should go, and to decide who should guard the wagon train at night. -A wagon train isn't exactly a train. It is a bunch of wagons put in one big line. -The most famous trail guide is Dr.Marcus Whitman -Many people traveled west. Such as farmers,storekeepers,carpenters,bakers,blacksmiths, missionaries,shoemakers,artists,lawyers,doctors,teachers! You name it! -People wanted to travel to Oregon because: *Cheap land *New adventures *Streams filled with fish *Flowers bloomed all year *sounded like a magical place
I learned that some baby was in the wagon the baby would die because it would get bumped around or if the parents weren't watching the children the child would get run over by the wheel and they also met nice and mean indians there were alot of adevetures over the 6 months
I think it is interesting that the trip took 6 months. That is half of a year!

ReplyDeleteI wonder if devil's backbone, a mountain that was almost too narrow for a wagon to cross, had any steep hills or crevasses.
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting that they traveled 10 to 20 miles a day.
