1. Here is a reminder about the task you are responsible for: * Create 8-12 journal entries describing the journey throughout the two years the explorers were on the trail. Two or three entries may be selected to be read aloud within the presentation.
 * Use special paper to make your journal look authentic! ||
 * Use special paper to make your journal look authentic! ||

2. You may want to make or use special paper to make your journal more realistic. You can take white (or off-white) construction paper and roll it up in a ball to wrinkle it. Do this several times, then smooth the paper out. To make it look older, paint both sides of the paper with strong tea or coffee. Let it hang to dry, or press it between two layers of paper towel. When it is dry, you can use a thin pen or marker to write your entries. (Make one sheet for each entry!) ||

3. Now begin your research! You will need to take notes as you navigate on the world wide web! Later, you will use these notes to write your journal entries, as if you were a member of the Corps of Discovery!
