Now that we are more than half way to Oregon, let’s talk about the big ideas of Westward Expansion!
Did the pioneers achieve their goals? Do you think the hardships of the trail were worth the final result? Let’s talk about the good, the bad, and the end of the Oregon Trail. Be sure to include bad things that happened and celebrations along the Oregon Trail. Please write four to five complete sentences with the correct grammar, capital letters, and end marks.
The bad thing that can happen is you get sick. The even worse thing that can happen is to die. The good thing is you can make it and build a house and get cheep farm land. They also wont be so crammed.I think that most of the pioneers did achieve their goals.
ReplyDeleteSome things that were dangerous, river crossings, diseases like cholera. A lot of other stuff too like the dust and chapped lips. I think that all they're sacrifices were worth it to get to Oregon. Oregon is just better than Independence, Missouri because the land. It's just better.
ReplyDeleteI think it was worth it because you get to have more land, freedom, and a better life. But some people did not want to take the risk of the trip because they might die. One bad thing was that they might get cholera and die. I think that the pioneers did achieve their goal because they got more land, freedom, and a better life and that us what they wanted.

DeleteI think it was worth it better farm land, more space.some things that dangorus was river crossings,snakes, and Indians and thats not all! but the god part is that when you see land marks you know your going the right way.i do think the pionners did achive there goal.
ReplyDeletei think it was worth it becuse you have better land, new land, and better farm land. They kind of achieve there goals becuse some made it to oregon and some didint. The bad things were rattle snakes, buffalo herds, and going down moutins. There good things were making it to landmarks on time, having places to rest, and tasting fresh water.
ReplyDeleteI thank it was worth it. You either get a lot of land or die. Some of the celebrations 4th of July,Chimney Rock and Courthouse Rock. One of the hardest things to do is cross a river or lake.

DeleteI think it was worth it because they wanted more and better land. I think it was not worth it because all of the sicknesses you could get.Like mountain fever and cholera. And half the people wouldn't make it.
ReplyDeletei think it was worth it because you could start over and have more land but it mite not be with it because you could get sick or hurt like indeise could get you
ReplyDeleteIt was worth it, but there were some bad things that happened on the Oregon trail. Like cholera, dying of sadness, river crossings, dust, and buffalo stampedes. When they got there it was really pretty and it was good for farming.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it was worth it but if you like to take risks than the Oregon Trail is for you. Not all pioneers did succeed in their goals but most did.
ReplyDeleteOne of the really bad things was diseases such as cholera, measles, mumps. Another bad thing was river crossings, the wagons could tip over into the river.
I think it was worth it because then we can make the United States bigger.Their were lots of bad things the happened on the Oregon Trail like Chlorera river crossing are very dangerous too so measles mumps and lots of other diseases.But when you get to Oregon Country its very pretty lots of supplies like trees good land,Good every thing.And lots of food like deer and other animals.
ReplyDeleteI think it was worth it becase they succseded in their goal. One of the bad things was diseises. I did'nt know there were so many! A good thing was Independence day celabrations. mmmmm I can almost smell the pies!

ReplyDeleteIn my journal Martin finds out his best friend is going to California not Oregon. Martin and his other friend Felix find some one who was captured by the Indians near Fort Hall. Martin keeps thinking the trail won't be worth it. Martin is wishing he could stay at soda springs. When he went to ash hallo and found out soda springs is evan better he wanted to stay there.
ReplyDeleteI think it was worth it to go to Oregon. You get more land and a new life. I think you can make friends easly because you meet so many more new people. But I cant belive how dangerouse it is on the Oregon trail.
