  2. Introduction You doze off and when you wake up you are sitting in a covered wagon next to two pioneer children, Anna and Caleb. The three of you are hungry and bored on what looks to be a long journey. You start trying to find things to do to make the time pass quickly.

  3. Tasks • Anna and Caleb are looking to you for ideas to help them not be bored. • You will help them choose a meal that their parents will fix for dinner with the supplies you have brought in the covered wagon. • You will find three toys in the wagon that you can play with on the journey. • You will pick a pioneer song that you can teach them to sing. • Finally, you will compare and contrast your life today with that of a pioneer child.

  4. Task 1 • Find a meal for your parents to cook. It can be breakfast, lunch or dinner. • Click on the following pioneer recipes links for ideas http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles/shober30.html http://personal.my180.net/thesmiths/oregontrailrecipes.html • Fill out a recipe card listing the ingredients and directions for cooking over an open fire.
