Successful Expedition

In this reflective worksheet, students identify three qualities that contributed to the success of the Lewis and Clark Expedition-such as teamwork, courage, or perseverance-and explain how each helped the group. They then write a short essay connecting these historical traits to modern exploration. This exercise builds historical reasoning, personal reflection, and written communication. Students practice drawing lessons from history while linking past achievements to present-day exploration efforts.
