What I
learned from the Lewis & Clark CD
http://rediscovery.ed.uidaho.edu/Resources/cd_rom.asp
I learned that a lot of the people with them were soldiers and only a few were
not, like Sacagawea and York.
Sacagawea came when they were at Fort Mandan.
She spoke Shoshoni and had a baby that was also on the journey.
York was Clark's slave.
Charles Floyd died from a problem with his body.
What I liked about the CD was that it had a lot of
information about the trip and Lewis and Clark. I also liked the information where
they would also speak the words. What I learned was a whole lot of
stuff. Like, after the expo a lot of the crew died from Indians.
Some other things were: John Coulter was the best hunter and Cruzatte was the
worst. What I wish it had was more about all of the animals that they saw. Also, where all the Indian tribes were.
The Lewis
and Clark virtual CD is very interesting. You can see very detailed
pictures of where they were and you can listen to very interesting
entries from their diaries. Also, you can listen to a description
of what they did at each stop they made across the United States
to the end of their expedition. Another thing you can do is listen and
learn about some of the people on the expedition and about President
Jefferson.
In the CD on Lewis & Clark, I learned a lot. On the CD I think they should talk more
about the forts and people. They only
had a page on the main characters. In the forts section, I didn't fully understand it, otherwise the CD was great. I really learned a lot and it was quite
interesting, like how we got the
land and why Napoleon (sold it to us. We, learned the reason was that Napoleon’s army was wiped out by Yellow Fever, and
Napoleon didn't want to lose the land to England.
I learned what animals and plants Lewis and Clark encountered
on their journey. They also met a lot of tribes including the Sioux (http://www.d21.k12.il.us/isu_d21_pds/ss_projects/native_americans/(), Nez
Perce( http://www.lewis-clarkvalley.com/indian.htmland) the Shoshone (http://www.pbs.org/lewisandclark/native/sho.html). I I liked how the CD showed you different
spots along the trail like the Missouri Falls. I wish they had things
short little movies where it told you about different parts of the
journey.
For the CD rom about Lewis and Clark, I liked
the stories and the moving photos! They were exciting. I wish there were
more biographies, then I could learn more about the rest of the Party.
