My Text Set

I chose to do the text set on the Oregon Trail. I am not currently teaching in a classroom. I took some time off to be with my kids and am working part time at an office and substitute teaching a lot for the school that I used to work for. I decided to do the text set on something that I found interesting and that I have always wanted to know more about... The Oregon Trail. It was a lot of fun researching and finding books/magazines/video about my subject. I talked to the fourth grade teacher at my school and she was able to point me in the right direction for finding relevant and fun material. I think that this text set will be a great resource for me in the future. It has also taught me how to create a text set, so that in the future I will be able to compile something like this for other subject areas. I am excited to see what other people have chosen. I won't include the whole text set, but a few examples....
