Journaling on the Oregon Trail!

orsonprattbrown.com
Historical fiction is so much fun to write! It has been so much fun to see you all step back in time to the 1840's.

Please share some good things that will happen to you and your family and some bad things that will happen. We all know that traveling on the Oregon Trail was filled with highs and lows!

Please be specific. Tell us which family member is involved and include as many details as you can.

  3. There are definitely good and bad things on the Oregon Trail. The good things are that none of my family members are going to die, my little sister Lila will survive from a snake bite and my birthday will be while we are traveling. The bad things are that our pilot is going to die, we get a crazy new pilot who gets us lost and there aren't many kids on my wagon train. I'm loving journaling about my pioneer adventure!

  4. We are going to have a birthday while on the trail. You travel in the month of June and that is my birthday. Our chicken is going to die on our trip. NO EGGS!!
    Luckily we have another chicken and a pig. It is fun to journal but not super easy.

  5. Hi! These are the good things that are going to happen to me on the trail: My birthday will happen while we are on the trail so that is fun! I get to hunt for my first animal while I am at Fort Laramire. The bad things that happen are my dog, Dexter, gets a snake bite but he does not die. We are at the back of the wagon train and we have no food and my sister dies of Cholera. I love journalling in my classroom so I can write about what is going on from my own perspective. I hope your family does good on the trail! BYE!!!

  8. I love journaling about the Oregon Trail. It is lots of fun because we get to imagin how the pioneers could have gone to Oregon. It is so exciting since we get to time travel. Here are some good things that have or will happen on the trail: my sister survives cholera, I survive a snake bite, we have a new baby, my dog gets married, someone also gets married and I get to be the flower girl, my dog survives an accidental gunshot, we are off to a great start and everyone makes it safely to Oregon, and I make tons of friends along the way. Here are some of the sad things that happened on our journey: our wagon wheel gets broken and our wagon tips over, some of our farm animals pass away. Those are just some of the things that happen along the way. I hope everyone enjoyed their adventure as much as I did!

  15. I am not going to make any one in my family die because I think that it would be to sad. But my baby sister who will be born on the trail, will get cholera. One good thing that will happen on the trail is that my friend Ada who is really Laine will be traveling with me on the Oregon Trail. My baby sister will be born at soada springs and that is why we are naming her Opal because a opal is blue wich is the color of water.
