    8 Easy Games for English Olympics Figure 1 Photo of Flags Table 1 Guess the Flag Description: This game is a perfect way to learn about other countries in the world. Many students will already be familiar with countries and their flags, especially with the Olympic Games. But they may not know the English names for the countries. This game allows students to apply their background knowledge to English and have fun! Level: Beginner – Intermediate Materials: Cards with flags of countries (optional: write the names of the countries on the back of the cards) Directions: 1. Group students according to their country (teams of 4 students). 2. For each question, one student from each group will stand up. 3. The teacher will show a picture of a flag. The first standing student to raise their hand gets the chance to say the name of the flag’s country. If they are incorrect, a different student can answer. 4. If no standing students know the answer, the teacher can allow them to ask their group for help. 5. The team of the student who answers the question gets one point. 6. A different student must respond to each question. The same student cannot answer more than once until the entire group has participated. 7. The 3 teams with the most correct answers win a medal for their team (gold, silver, or bronze, respectively). 8 Easy Games for English Olympics Figure 2 Photo of Out of Order Sign Table 2 Out of Order!

  • Road to Oregon Written by Dr
    The Road to Oregon Written by Dr. Jim Tompkins, a prominent local historian and the descendant of Oregon Trail immigrants, The Road to Oregon is a good primer on the history of the Oregon Trail. Unit I. The Pioneers: 1800-1840 Who Explored the Oregon Trail? The emigrants of the 1840s were not the first to travel the Oregon Trail. The colorful history of our country makes heroes out of the explorers, mountain men, soldiers, and scientists who opened up the West. In 1540 the Spanish explorer Coronado ventured as far north as present-day Kansas, but the inland routes across the plains remained the sole domain of Native Americans until 1804, when Lewis and Clark skirted the edges on their epic journey of discovery to the Pacific Northwest and Zeb Pike explored the "Great American Desert," as the Great Plains were then known. The Lewis and Clark Expedition had a direct influence on the economy of the West even before the explorers had returned to St. Louis. Private John Colter left the expedition on the way home in 1806 to take up the fur trade business. For the next 20 years the likes of Manuel Lisa, Auguste and Pierre Choteau, William Ashley, James Bridger, Kit Carson, Tom Fitzgerald, and William Sublette roamed the West. These part romantic adventurers, part self-made entrepreneurs, part hermits were called mountain men. By 1829, Jedediah Smith knew more about the West than any other person alive. The Americans became involved in the fur trade in 1810 when John Jacob Astor, at the insistence of his friend Thomas Jefferson, founded the Pacific Fur Company in New York.

  • Oregon Treaty (1846) Name
    Oregon Treaty (1846) Name: The Coast-to-Coast Decade From the earliest days, some Americans dreamed that one day the United States would stretch across North America from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. In the 1840s, that dream finally came true—starting with “Oregon Country.” This northwest section of the continent was a beautiful and valuable resource, covered by forests and laced with waterways and coastlines. There was money to be made in fishing and shipping, harvesting timber and fur animals, and mining for gold. It was no surprise that the United States wasn’t the only country with a claim to the land. War With Great Britain… Again?? Yep, it was another dispute with America’s former mother country. Back then, Great Britain controlled the territory we know today as Canada. Oregon Country stretched from the border between modern-day Oregon and California all the way up into British territory. Both Britain and America wanted this land, and they’d been arguing over it for a while. But the 1840s was a time when Americans got a passion for expanding. James Polk shared that passion—and he won the 1844 presidential election promising to add Oregon to the United States. He let the British believe America would go to war to control all of Oregon Country. What a Clever Guy President Polk was bluffing. By that time, the U.S. and Britain had already agreed that America’s northern border would run along the 49th parallel. (That’s where it is today.) The only section left undecided was the part that ran through Oregon Country.

  • Oregon City by Val Ballestrem Oregon City Was the First Incorporated City West of the Rocky Mountains and a Main Terminus of the Oregon Trail
    Oregon City By Val Ballestrem Oregon City was the first incorporated city west of the Rocky Mountains and a main terminus of the Oregon Trail. Its historic center is along the east bank of the Willamette River, at the base of Willamette Falls. Oregon City is the seat of Clackamas County government and is known for its one-of-a-kind municipal elevator, the McLoughlin House, early hydroelectric power, and its pulp and paper and woolen mills. For thousands of years, the area below Willamette Falls was home to the Clackamas Indians and was an important gathering place and fishing center. Salmon, steelhead, and lamprey in the river attracted Native fishers, including the Multnomah, Wasco, Tualatin, and Molala, who traded with the Clackamas for fish and fishing rights. White fur trappers first explored the area near Willamette Falls in 1811. After the British-Canadian Hudson’s Bay Company in 1824 established Fort Vancouver, about twenty-five miles to the north on the Columbia River, Chief Factor John McLoughlin showed interest in land at the base of the falls. In 1829, he claimed two square miles at the site and built three houses and a millrace, establishing the first permanent white settlement in the Willamette Valley. McLoughlin encouraged white traders, missionaries, and emigrants to settle in the valley, and some set up residence at Willamette Falls, strengthening the American presence there. He platted the town of Willamette Falls in 1842, and Oregon’s Provisional Government incorporated it as Oregon City two years later. The early town was built on a strip of land between Willamette Falls and Abernethy Creek to the north, the Willamette River to the west, and Singer Hill Bluff, rising one hundred feet or more, to the east.
