I've chosen a book, The Stout Hearted Seven: Orphaned on the Oregon Trail, that shares the story of a family on the Oregon Trail heading to their new life in Oregon. They have many difficulties along the way, the biggest one being, the death of Mama and Papa. It is now up to the eldest children to make sure they along with their younger siblings get to Oregon safely and all together. This book brings history to life as the eldest children are about the same age as my students. This story will be accompanied along with additional primary sources from the actual siblings from this family. Students will read about how different their lives are compared to those who lived and paved the way of the west in America hundreds of years ago. It is important to give children chances to hear two sides of a story and make a decision for themselves. By comparing how the book portrays the story of the stout-hearted seven, students will have their first interaction with a fluffed up story versus a firsthand account. They will become miniature versions of historians! This book will provide an element of engagement that some history classes struggle to have. Action, adventure, and life lessons are elements that my students need and can be provided through this one book! This book traditionally would be used in class as students would read together, alone, or along with a voice recording. However, this year provides extreme circumstances and lessons will be altered to digital learning
