Seventh Grade took an 1800s-style road trip

Seventh Grade took an 1800s-style road trip in Social Studies class as they experienced the life of 19th century pioneers and wrote about how much travel has changed. Playing a game on their chrome books, students were faced with all of the challenges pioneers encountered 200 years ago. From budgeting and finding food, to dealing with disease, and battling the elements, Seventh Grade used their critical thinking skills to navigate across the wild west. Then students began to write about how much travel has changed since the days of pioneers. From the safety of a computer, everyone was impressed with just how dangerous life is in the wilderness.
