Rendezvous Research

Yesterday, Mrs. Cook's class joined us for a lesson on Mountain Men and their summer trading meetings (Rendezvous) with Native Americans and other non-natives.  After the lesson, the students worked on ipads to locate common trading items (beaver fur, salt, beads, gun powder, etc.).  Then, each student recreated that trading item in a drawing, added details, and wrote a slogan.  Tomorrow, our class will create digital posters advertising the trading items.  These posters will be posted on the student blogs!
