ASSIGNMENT:
Sophie

paper and draw each block of the storyboard. We will then scan them into the computer and reduce them. Lastly we will edit and add the
text in the appropriate font.
o Please remind her to keep the drawings
simple so they can scan down and still be seen.

Summarize the story: This book is about the
expedition of Lewis and Clark back in the early 1800’s. This book tells every
good and bad fact about Lewis and Clark and their journey. It started when
Lewis was appointed secretary to Thomas Jefferson. They were planning a secret
expedition to go landscape the French territory. Jefferson than bought that
territory in 1803 and sent Lewis and Clark and the Corps of discovery on their
way. They camped in St. Louis Missouri for the first winter. The Mandan tribe
kept Lewis and Clark safe and warm. Toussaint Charbonneau joined the Corps as
an interpreter with his wife Sacajawea and her baby. Sacajawea acted as a guide
for the corps and led them threw the land and back. We are now grateful for our
faithful landscapers Lewis and Clark.

affected the ecosystem during your observation?
Warm, no sun on pond, cold water, leaves
falling into pond, slight wind

observed the ecosystem?
More leaves, fish deeper in water, darker water, colder
water
5.
What changes do you expect to happen to the
ecosystem before your next observation?
Slight ice on pond, no fish, slower
waterfall, more leaves
