Lewis and Clark: Great Journey West | National Geographic Documentary (TV – 2002) challenges students to compare the expedition to a modern day expedition, empathize with indigenous tribes, and describe Sacagawea’s contributions to the journey. Ask students to put themselves in the shoes of the members of the expedition, make decisions and support them with evidence from the movie and their own perspectives. Finally, ask students to research and explore how the journey from St. Louis to Astoria has changed or write a research essay on one of the tribes that the expedition encountered.

Note: This movie guide includes an optional Pre-Viewing Student handout detailing Lewis & Clark State-Specific Information (ID, MT, WA, OR)
