Pioneer Daily Life

The pioneers braved many dangers and had a difficult time crossing the country. Their daily life was very different from ours. It will be your job to share what it was like to be a person on the trail and what you did everyday to survive.

Include information about daily chores, food, fun and problems.

Make a food that was used by the pioneers and share it with the class. Be sure and include it in your presentation.
