oregon trail

Beginning around 1840, pioneers headed west on the Oregon and California trails. First dozens, then hundreds, then thousands packed their belongings and said goodbye to family and friends they were leaving behind. What was life like for these travelers?Directions:

1. Let's travel the trail! Today you are going to play the Oregon Trail game. Keep in mind this game is old. The first version is even older than Ms. Stevenson! As such, it does not use a mouse. You can't point and click. Instead of using a mouse, you will need to use the keyboard. The game will walk you through it. To select an option, you would push the number and enter the option you want.

2. Share your experiences “traveling the trail” with your classmates on Google Classroom. What was your occupation? Was your travel easy? Did you make it to the end? How many in your party survived? Let us know how you did.
