LITTLE "POMP" GROWING UP ON THE TRAIL


Summary
LESSON PLAN 2: GROWING UP ON THE TRAIL
Summary: Jean Baptiste was the infant son of Sacagawea and Toussaint Charbonneau. He was only eight weeks old when his parents joined the Lewis and Clark expedition in North Dakota. When they returned from the expedition, he was two years old, so he literally grew up on the trail. When he became an adult, he had many adventures both in America and Europe. During this lesson, students compare the lives of Indian children long ago with their own lives today.

A Word For Teachers about Using this Cirriculum Guide
Lesson plans and activities in this curriculum guide have been planned to accommodate a wide range of student interests and capabilities rather than imposing a rigid age/grade structure upon the materials. We encourage teachers to adapt the materials according to the needs, interests, and capabilities of their classes. Even the diagram below should be taken as an approximation. After all, no one knows your students better than you do.
