EXAMPLE Article Title //DANGERS ON THE TRAIL// Crossing Mountains – could freeze if not over before winter Dangerous river crossings—oxen and wagon be swept away by the current
 * //What were the natural dangers?//**

Accidental shootings—guns shifting in back of wagon Falling off and getting crushed by wagon wheels
 * //What were the human inflicted dangers?//**

Small pox Measles – both spread very quickly at places where there were lots of people concentrated *to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You know It” River crossings can be dangerous don’t you know If you’re going to cross a river take it slow You can tip, get knocked down, and your oxen might even drown, It would stink to go 1000 miles only to lose little Joe. *to the tune of “Five Little Ducks” 5 immigrants went out on the trail. To try and cross the mountains and prevail, One little kid got squished by a wagon wheel They kept going cause 640 acres was a really good deal.
 * //What were the diseases they could die from?//**
