Build a Community
You can build a community with students on this Web site.
Ask students to tell you how they think Daniel Boone found his way to the west. Ask them to tell whether or not they think he used maps. Then share with students that Daniel Boone made maps as he went along so that others who came later would be able to find their way. Share with students that now we have satellites in space that can take pictures of every place on earth. You can see what your neighborhood looks like from a satellite in space at this Web site.
You can use this Web page to print a map of the United States.
Use this site to find out more about the topography of your state.
Share with students that one part of the wilderness that Daniel Boone explored is in the state of Kentucky. With students, locate the state of Kentucky on a map. Show students the picture of the "Wilderness Road" in their textbooks and compare it to your map. Then tell students when Daniel Boone went west, he met many friendly Native American Indians along his way.
