OJAC TRAVELING HISTORY TRUNK - Manifest Destiny and the American West: Grades: 4-8

Join us as we go back to 1863 and explore the effects of the transcontinental transportation network on America. We will read about life in America during this time through the perspective of pioneer Sallie Reynolds Matthews. In this trunk, you will find a lesson plan packet, an American Progress painting tapestry, props needed to conduct the “Step Into the Painting” activity, a wagon, and information cards.
