-When did the story take place?
-Why were they in a wagon train? Where were they traveling to and from?

Students will then choose a family member or friend to share a story with them. The story can be about family history, personal experience, something the person feels passionate about, etc.

excellent, would love Aunt Mae to see it! Or my mom, she loved this story, when I came home from primary and told her the story from our lesson that day, she told me, that was your great grandmother!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea - I think that kids would be very excited to be able to do a writing project about their family.
