Evidence Write a How-to Guide

PROMPT

In Explore the Wild West!, you learned about the experiences of families who traveled
westward by wagon train in the 1800s. Families making this journey experienced many

hardships and had to be prepared for many difficult days of travel.

Create a how-to guide for westward-bound pioneers. Start with an introduction. Then
add a paragraph on one of the following: preparing for the trip, including a list of
important items to pack, or life on the trail, including possible dangers. End with a

conclusion that summarizes the important points you’ve made. Use specific evidence
from the text to give detailed information to your readers. Be sure that each paragraph
of your writing includes a central, or main, idea. Don’t forget to use some of the Critical
Vocabulary words in your writing.

PLAN

Make notes, based on details from the text, that support your central idea of
trip preparation or life on the trail.
