A Trip Through the Imagination
![Page 2: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What would life be like if we traveled back in time?
Let’s imagine…
![Page 3: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
To begin, we have to imagine we are the first people to settle a new land.
Who are we?
![Page 4: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Pioneers.
![Page 5: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Some of us may wear cotton fabric that has a design on it. What’s that
called?
![Page 6: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Calico.
![Page 7: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
We’re traveling across the huge fields of grass. Where
are we?
![Page 8: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The prairie.
![Page 9: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
And on our travels, we arrive in an area of land that’s owned by the government.
Where are we?
![Page 10: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Minnesota Territory.
![Page 11: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
After entering Minnesota Territory, we locate a thick patch of trees or bushes. What is it?
![Page 12: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A thicket.
![Page 13: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Look! Over in the distance is a small, rounded hill. What is it?
![Page 14: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Right! A knoll.
![Page 15: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Let’s make this our homestead. What’s a
homestead?
![Page 16: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The land and buildings a person owns.
![Page 17: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
On our homestead, we will need to build a home.
![Page 18: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Where might we live if our home is “dug out” of the
ground?
![Page 19: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A dugout. If we also had to use the top layer of soil and grass, what would we
need?
![Page 20: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sod.
![Page 21: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Could we build a small addition to our home?
![Page 22: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sure. That’s called a lean-to.
![Page 23: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sometimes, a lean-to might be a good place to keep a container used to make butter.
What is the name of this container?
![Page 24: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A churn.
![Page 25: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
As pioneer children, we may need to write our school lessons on a handheld
chalkboard. What do we call this?
![Page 26: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
A slate.
![Page 27: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Can you imagine we are pioneers?
![Page 28: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
One more question…
![Page 29: On The Banks Of Plum Creek Pioneer Life](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102705/547bb837b4af9f957a8b465a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Do you think there are pioneers today?

Let’s imagine…
