Parent Guide > Lewis and Clark Expedition

This week in class, we’re reading "Lewis and Clark Expedition" by Britannica Kids.

In "Lewis and Clark Expedition," Britannica Kids details the well-known western journey of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America, Honor & Courage, and Justice, Freedom & Equality as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How has America changed over time?", "What does it mean to be brave?", and "What is fair?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this informational text at home:
  • What was "Lewis and Clark Expedition" about?
  • What did you learn about America?
  • What did you learn about Honor & Courage?
  • What did you learn about Justice, Freedom & Equality?
• Watch the following clips with your child at home:
  • 'Without This Woman’s Help, Lewis and Clark Were Goners'
  • 'Sacagawea, The True Story - The Lemhi Shoshone Guide of the Lewis and Clark Expedition'
  • 'The Loss of Native American Lands Within the US: Every Year'
