I am so excited to have a bunch of your photos to share with my classes. Thank you to everyone! Can I just say that this trip has been so educational. First off the readings, the reports/lesson plans, comments from our fearless leaders, and teaching strategies greatly enhanced my knowledge of this topic. Aside from those things... just being on the trail and experiencing it for myself first hand has really taught me more than any book I have read.
I really enjoyed the Photo Analysis Strategy that we leaned in the bus. I think that the photos from this trip are going to enhance our teaching so much. After seeing things like South Pass, Independence Rock, Fort Bridger, Devil's Gate, the ruts, Fort Laramie etc, my idea of the Mormon Trail is so much more clear. All I can say is that now I know the meaning of the prhase...a picture is worth a thousand words.

I agree Cali. Thanks for helping to collect all the photos from everyone! This trip has been really educational and our fearless three leaders have been awesome! I think that anytime you have a first hand experience you can teach that topic with greater emotion. I also plan to use the photo analysis strategy with my class. It will come in handy with my new document camera.
