The question that guides our first expedition is: ”What Does It Take To Survive The Unknown?”
For several months, we’ll look through the lens of ‘survival’ as we analyze the Corps of Discovery Expedition, the Journey along the Oregon Trail, and the Hillsboro Immigrant Experience. We aim not only to have fun, 
but to answer our Guiding Question and meet the following long term learning targets:
- I can synthesize information from primary and secondary sources.
- I can analyze the causes of human migration.
- I can examine cause and effect relationships.
- I can utilize timelines, maps, and geographic tools to acquire, process, and report information.
- I can evaluate how plants, animals, and the environment are interdependent.
- I can analyze how adaptation influences survival.
Our fieldwork includes a Wilderness Survival Trip, Fort Clatsop, Cape Disappointment, Astoria Column, Oregon Historical Society, Fort Vancouver, The End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, and more. I look forward our journey together!
