Review for Frontier Explorers
Part 1. Using Words:
Woodsmen: People who live or work in the forest; woodsmen know how to build their own houses
Pioneers: The first to go somewhere or do something; pioneers were excited to go to new places and try new things
Expedition: Lewis and Clark’s expedition took them across the United States all the way to Pacific Ocean
Purchase: When someone pay someone money to buy something, it’s a purchase
Guided: Having led the way; Sacagawea guided Lewis and Clark because she knew the way to cross the land
Protection: Something that keeps you safe. When it snows, snow boots are a good form of protection for your feet
Emperor: Ruler of a vast empire; he can do almost anything; the people don’t get to vote on it. Napoleon was the emperor who sold Louisiana to the U.S.
Barrier: Something that blocks the movement from one place to another; a fence is a barrier that makes sure kids do not play on the grass
Translate: When people translate, they change words from one language into another language so that everyone can understand each other
Survive: Lewis and Clark looked for people who knew how to survive, or stay alive, in forests and on rivers and mountains
Route: A certain path or way; some students see tall buildings on the route they take to school
Dull: Boring; dull movies are not exciting
Brave: People are brave when they do what is right even when it is hard to do
Honored: Valued, in many schools, hard work and determination are honored
Record: To write down; a class project might be to record the weather for a week
Part 2: Who Am I?
I found a way to cross the Appalachian Mountains into Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap, a Native American trail. (Daniel Boone)
I was the third president of the United States, who arranged for the Louisiana Purchase. (Thomas Jefferson)
Jefferson hired us to lead the Corps of Discovery in exploration of the Louisiana Territory. (Lewis and Clark)
We already lived in the Louisiana Territory before the Corps of Discovery started their expedition. (Native Americans)
I was the trailblazer who made the Wilderness Road so that other colonists could cross the Appalachian Mountains. (Daniel Boone)
We recorded many new plants and animals in our journals. (Lewis and Clark)
I was a woodsman and hunter known for my good aim; some say I could even shoot a tick off a deer. (Daniel Boone)
I was a guide and translator for the Corps of Discovery. (Sacagawea)
We traveled by foot through the Rocky Mountains because there wasn’t an all-water route to the Pacific Ocean. (Lewis and Clark)
We finally got to see the Pacific Ocean before we headed for home. (Lewis and Clark)
Part 3: U.S. Map: Can you find the Appalachian Mountains? Can you find the Mississippi River? Can you find the Rocky Mountains? Last, can you find the area or territory that represents the Louisiana Purchase?
