Lesson 1- Uncharted Territory
Think about a place where no one has ever been. (Perhaps the bottom of the ocean, or another galaxy) What do you know about these places? Are there preconceived ideas you have about them? Is information available about these sites? Have you been able to see these sites even if no one has visited them? How do we obtain information about these places?
Today, you are going to think about how you would prepare for a journey to a location where no one has ever been and/or for which there is limited information. Do you think that myths about the place might dissuade you from visiting it or entice you to explore?

Even though people already lived in the region where Lewis and Clark visited, to the European people who had settled the eastern United States, the American West was a mysterious place.
Think about what Lewis and Clark must have imagined about their journey-particularly places they would visit-before they embarked upon it.

Learning about Lewis and Clark was so exciting!!! I believe that Lewis and Clark had a great experience because they got to see in person how the Native Americans lived and interact with each other.
