Izzybell & Camear024 are going to create an adventure story about Lewis and Clark’s Expedition that: Tells about Lewis and Clarke's stay at Fort Mandan

My adventure story will solve the following problem: What did Lewis and Clark's expedition group do during their stay at Fort Mandan and how did they survive through the long winter?

My audience will experience my story through the eyes of: Pierre Cruzatte(one eyed fiddler)

My adventure story will have the following common characteristics of an adventure story:triumph, excitement, danger, starvation

My adventure story will have the following key historical events: building fort Mandan to protect them from the Sioux indians who were hostile. they traded with indians, hunted buffalo, and repairing equiptment. They became friends with the local Indians who taught them many things (dealing with weather, etc.) They also hired Sacagewea's husband here to help with trade. Sacagewea had a son during their encampment there. Excited for return journey, but Fort Mandan was burnt to the ground (reason unknown).

My adventure story will have the following key historical characters:Lewis and Clark, the crew members, Sacagewea and Toussaint Charbonneau

My adventure story will have the following key historically important concrete objects:Fort Mandan,fiddles,beds,rooms,the Missouri River, trees,

My adventure story will be credible because I will support it with the following primary sources: Journal Entries from Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb from the journals of Lewis&Clarke.

My adventure story will make the audience feel the following emotions: Excitement, Holiday Spirit (story takes place during winter, very cold and snowy like a winter wonderland not to mention this is right before Christmas), Suprise, Compassion

I will engage my audience by doing the following (this is something I have never done before): Building an interactive replica of Fort Mandan with all the historical objects and people built through it. A computerized walk-through (just audio with fiddler's voice) of Fort Mandan and story from the view of the one eyed fiddler who will talk to the audience and interact with them.
