Summary: |
Three pioneer children recount their trip across the prairie in a series of easy-to-read poems. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Comparisons among the children's points of view will work well. The language is poetic and filled with metaphors, so the text will be useful for focusing on figurative language. Text sets include Westward Expansion or pioneer life or change/relocation. |
