The document provides instructions for creating an Oregon Trail travel guide to help others prepare for the journey. The guide should include a colorful cover with title and illustrations. Inside sections should provide an introduction by the authors, as well as "Dos" and "Don'ts" - things to do and not do on the trail. A detailed map is also required. The goal is to help readers prepare and survive the trip in an engaging and historically accurate manner.

1. Oregon Trail Travel Guide
Background:
Imagine
you
are
someone
who
successfully
traveled
the
Oregon
Trail
and
now
you
want
to
share
your
experience
and
expertise
to
help
others
as
they
embark
on
their
own
journey
to
Oregon.
Directions:
Based
on
what
you
learned
in
class,
plus
the
outside
research
you
and
your
group
completes,
create
a
tri-­‐fold
travel
guide
as
follows:
Front
Cover
Give
your
travel
guide
an
appropriate
title
and
include
a
picture
or
illustration
to
attract
your
reader.
Include
the
authors’
names
(you).
Inside
Right
Write
an
introduction
in
complete
sentences.
Validate
yourselves
as
experienced
travelers
and
let
the
reader
know
why
your
advice
is
worthwhile.
Be
creative!
Open
Left
Side
Create
a
section
of
at
least
five
“Dos”
that
advise
your
reader
of
important
things
to
do
to
prepare
for
and
survive
the
trip.
Each
“do”
should
be
at
least
two
sentences;
one
that
explains
what
to
do
and
one
that
explains
why.
Open
Middle
Fully
illustrate
this
section
to
give
your
reader
a
sense
of
what
they
might
see
or
encounter
along
the
way.
Make
the
journey
look
worthwhile!
Open
Right
Side
Create
a
section
of
at
least
five
“Don’ts”
that
advise
your
reader
of
important
mistakes
NOT
to
make
as
they
prepare
for
and
embark
on
the
trip.
Each
“don’t”
should
be
at
least
two
sentences;
one
that
explains
what
not
to
do

explains

***
Be
sure
your

are
not
simply
the
reverse
of
your
“Dos”.***
