Animals and Plants Along the Trail: Then and Now
What is Lost? What is Left?




http://www.nwplants.com/images/lewisclark/heidimap.jpg

In 1804 Lewis and Clark set out on their journey to the American West and the Pacific Ocean
with some advice from their president, Thomas Jefferson, to record "the dates at which
particular plants put forth or lose their flower, or leaf, times of appearance of particular birds,
reptiles, or insects...the animals of the country, & especially those not known in the US."

For this assignment you will use this website for much of your information
http://www.sierraclub.org/lewisandclark/history/index.asp
Save all your work into your Westward Expansion folder in a special folder called Scrapbook.

When Lewis and Clark headed west they encountered many plants and animals they had never
seen before. Times have changed and the population of many species along the trail has changed
considerably as well.
       Select one animal and one plant from the trail. Take notes on the plant and animal
         you picked.
       For each species you will write a short paragraph using Comic size 12 describing and
         characterizing it. Be sure to double-check your work for fluency, grammar and
         spelling errors.
       You will also include a hand-drawn colored picture or a picture you create using Paint.
       If you have information on where the plant or animal was found, include that
         information too. Be sure to copy and paste the URL into your Reference page.
