Westward Ho!: An Activity Guide to the Wild West

Westward Ho!: An Activity Guide to the Wild West by Laurie Carlson

A hands-on approach to history!

Take your students on any number of learning journeys: join Lewis and Clark on an expedition; journey into the woods with fur traders; or ride a wagon train to the Oregon Territory as you learn how the quest for gold led to a feverish migration.

Experience the excitement of resettlement following the Homestead Act, and ride off to a roundup during the cowboy era.

Your students will explore the West with activities such as sewing a sunbonnet, panning for gold, cooking flapjacks, singing cowboy songs, and more.

Helpful illustrations are included to explain project steps.
