Task:

1. Research the Mormon Trail taking notes while using a URL site, an encyclopedia and a picture book.
2. As a character along the Mormon Trail, use the notes to create an illustrated journal containing 6 - 7 entries which reveal important incidents and discoveries.
3. Organize a focused narrative which:
   • includes background information about how and why the Mormon Trail came about
   • contains information of what happened along the Mormon Trail
   • uses supporting details to explain how the use of the Mormon Trail affected the growth history of the United States!
4. Create an artifact packet (use a gallon plastic bag) which includes primary source documents, miniature props, and a descriptive index of the contents related to the Mormon Trail.
