I think that studying the past can help show that our life now is similar to the past. I think that learning a bout the past can help with the decisions because on the Oregon Trail they really had to think about what they chose to do. I think that it will be easier on life if you think hard about what you are about to do. Like climb a mountian or to cross a river.

It can show us how much harder it was back then compered to today. it makes our lives look easy, we don't have it as bad. I'm now thankful we don't have to live like them.

Because we can learn from our countrys mistakes and then try not to repet history though many people belive history repeats it's self. It only repeats it's self becuse people now a days make the same mistakes as we did back in the pioneers times. So we know how we can try to change what will happen for the better. So in conclusion We shold learn about history so we can make better choices. Now we know about what might've happened back then.

This journey was very fun! My group members were very nice and we all helped each other. It was a great experience! My favorite part was working on the game board and writing about it and everything! It was so much fun!

I think that it helps by thinking about your decisions that you make. And to be sure you have enough of supplies. This helped us by thinking and choosing and dealing with what you get. Because you don't always get it your way.

I think it helps because you have to think of everything when comes to money. You also never know what hardship will be next. Also it teaches us to cope with things.

It could give us a chance to learn to make good decisions. The simulations are just a good preview on what can happen and how to solve it. It also uses teamwork!

We had a lot of crazy times on the adventure. I thought we were never going to reach Oregon at sometimes. We all ended up living at the end. So I guess we did pretty good and we still had like 600 pounds of food.

It can help you show changes and similar things from the past. Plus you get to learn how much easier life is now. Back then it was hard to survive. Plus it is a great way to have fun while you learn. Instead of writing all those papers or just reading about them.

Studying the past can help us by making decisions in our life. Because maybe on day you will go traveling but you won't have to role and all the other stuff you'll have to chose though. Also if a group of people ask you if you want to do drugs then you have a choice one choice is to sacrifice your life or to just say no. That's what I think.
