Our Lewis and Clark Google Expedition Project will focus on the journey of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark across the American West. Lewis and Clark were chosen by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the land that was bought from France during the Louisiana Purchase; this area at the time was called the "Lousiana Territory".
Their main goal was to discover a water route that connected the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in order to encourage American westward expansion. One of their other goals was to document the unknown peoples, geography, plants and animals of the western United States
Your goal for this project will be to create a collaborative map with your classmates of Lewis and Clark's expedition. You will be learning about how the expedition came about, what happened during their journey and why their journey was so important to the expansion of the United States.
In order to complete your project, you will be using 2 Google services, Google Docs and Google Maps. Google Docs will allow you to create a Word document online where you will answer several questions and include all of your research for your project. Google Maps will allow you to create a collaborative map of their expedition, which will include many of the points that they stopped at, information on what happened there and images that relate to that point on the map.

ReplyDeleteI know that the Lewis and Clark expedition included one enslaved African American, a Native American woman with her baby, and a faitful dog; the journey was put on to study wildlife, culture, and people for the purpose of trading, traveling, and settling. They needed to travel to the ocean by covering the entire west part of the country.
The Louisiana Purchase was bought by the United States, which was actually unconstitutional, but since the Constitution was young, this did not apply.
I know that the Lewis and Clark expedition was from 1804 to 1806, and the reason they went on the expedition was to find a route to the Pacific Ocean for Thomas Jefferson. Sacajawea also helped during the expedition, she knew many different languages and was known as a peace symbol.

ReplyDeleteThe Louisiana Territory was bought by America, from France and it included a lot of land west of the thirteen colonies. Thomas Jefferson, the president at that time, sent Lewis and Clark as well as many others on an expedition to find out what people lived in the area, the climate, and basically the geography and dwellers of the land. A native american named Sacagawea and her baby also traveled along, to symbolize peace as they reached new tribes and Sacagawea also translated for Lewis and Clark. This was the great Expedition of the West.

ReplyDeleteI know that the Louisiana Purchase was suggested by Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd president. Since Napoleon Bonaparte needed money for his war in Europe, he agreed to $15,000,000 for the Louisiana Territory. Lewis and Clark's journey occurred in the years 1804-1806. Jefferson sent them to map a route to the Pacific Ocean and while they were exploring, they studied climate, plant life, people, land, animals. Sacagawea, a woman part of the Shosone tribe helped them.
The LOsuiana Purchase was a purchase by President JEfferson and Lewis and Clark Expedition to map a route to the Pacific Ocean.

ReplyDeleteI also knew that they paid about 15 million for the land. Louis and Clark had to find a water route, places to settle, and to describe what was there. They brought along Sacagewea, a female herbalist. The United States only wanted New Orleans for 10 million,and they got more than they expected for only a little more. A great deal. :)
They attempted to buy FLorida but, their offer was refused so they bought another four states known as the Louisiana Purchase.
