I forgot that Sacagawea crossed the Northwest U.s.a. with a newborn baby. How crazy is that? How crazy that she was married while she was xiv.

I forgot that Sacagawea crossed the Northwest United states with a newborn baby. How crazy is that? How crazy that she was married while she was 14. One thing I didn't know was that her husband was on the expedition also. He helped translate the Indian tongue into French and someone on the team translated that into English. That sounds frustrating.

Sacagawea didn't have a choice most this journey, merely she did prove herself and she is the reason that they made it. It would accept been a much more hard journal without her. She helped them survive off the land because the Englishmen didn't know how to do that. I'one thousand glad she has such a prominent identify in History. It also probably means we tin can expect more from our teens. They can be pretty capable.

The niece read it to herself and she gave information technology three stars. She wouldn't tell me much of what she thought about the book.

Another slap-up volume in this series.

Young girls of all ages tin be inspired by this book when they understand that a teenager who one time was overlooked became one of the most well-known names in American history. She was courageous, fierce, kind, intelligent, and so much more. Even as an adult adult female, it was great to read a story about another woman who brought about and so much change when the world usually doubted her ability to accomplish anything outside of stereotypical duties. There is much to learn from this book in a historical and social sense. There were various aspects of the life of Sacagawea that I wasn't familiar with including the fact that she had a child and then young and so had to take that child with her on the journey. I wasn't aware of the fact that she originally served as a translator and besides a navigator. I as well wasn't aware of the fact that she was able to reunite with her brother who became chief of their tribe. In add-on to an excellent story, I found the artwork to be superb. Information technology was nicely illustrated and it included enough text that it wasn't completely overwhelming. If you haven't checked out this book or whatever of the books in the series I would recommend getting them! They are Astonishing. ...more

This book is a reminder of why it is such a hazard to write when one has an ax to grind and an agenda to push button, especially when sources are so limited.  This book is sit-in of an author who wants to push someone as a hero in the incorrect way.  To exist certain, Sacagawea is an easy enough person to appreciate.  She was a person of fairly obvious skill and bravery, having married equally a young captive in the fell wars of the plains to a French trapper, and faithfully serving the Lewis and Clark exped This book is a reminder of why it is such a gamble to write when one has an ax to grind and an agenda to push button, especially when sources are so express.  This book is demonstration of an author who wants to push someone every bit a hero in the wrong way.  To be sure, Sacagawea is an piece of cake enough person to appreciate.  She was a person of fairly obvious skill and bravery, having married as a young captive in the savage wars of the plains to a French trapper, and faithfully serving the Lewis and Clark trek through her pluck and linguistic abilities.  All of this would be piece of cake enough to appreciate, but the author does not announced interested in this sort of honest and sober appreciation, placed in a context of hard times.  Instead the writer goes in total SJW mode and tries to brand information technology seem unfair that she wasn't paid straight by the expedition but her married man was paid on her behalf.  While I will have some more to say about this later on, I would like to say that the tone of the author, and the aggrieved resentment he shows, makes this novel a lot less enjoyable to read.

Absolutely, the story of Sacagawea is a short one and there is not a lot known about her.  So the author more often than not focuses on what is known.  The author talks about her babyhood in the Shoshone tribe, her existence kidnapped during intertribal wars with another people, and her being given in marriage (probably with little consent on her function) to a trader who was hired on to the Lewis & Clark expedition.  The author talks a lot about that expedition, and about various trials that were faced and her pluck--it should be noted that the sources of the trek were written by Lewis and Clark and others, and that at that place is no known account by her in the historical record.  The author'south use of the written sources to cast aspersion on the backbone and skill of those who wrote the sources is perverse, to say the least.  The author talks about the celebrity of her visiting the sea and the poignant moment when she met her brother and found him every bit a chief of her people, but seems non to empathize why she would not desire to stay with her brother after having met him.

This book manifestly has some problems.  The author seems to lack understanding of Sacagawea's perspective and why it was that she would prefer to explore new lands rather than stay with her brother and her native tribe.  Did her kidnapping (and the fact that her people did non rescue her) brand a difference?  Was she looked down upon for having been given in marriage to a French trapper?  Did she simply want to explore new places and go out the scene of and so much suffering behind?  These would be natural explanations of her behavior, including the fact that she had a job to practice and wanted to practise it well.  Likewise, the fact that the expedition gave her husband 320 acres and a certain amount of coin was a sign of generosity to the family unit as a whole, seeing as the trapper was the head of a household with a young wife (she was a teenager at the time, we must remember) and a immature child.  Since the normal grant of land was 160 acres per person, she was paid as part of the household.  Why the author cannot see this as an act of efficiency by treating the head of household as a representative of the whole family and instead views it every bit unjust is yet more evidence of why social justice warriors should go out writing to those who understand history and human psychology and everything else.

I was impressed with the authors positive message of "Wherever y'all get in life... make your own path. Shatter expectations."

SYNTHESIS:
This biography provided an honest and powerful story about the journey of Sacagawea throughout the United states of america. The book detailed her encounters with the French likewise as Lewis and Clark. As the only female, teenage, female parent on the Corps of Discovery, the played a key office in translating and navigating for Lewis and Clark. This book really sheds light on an important, female, historical effigy who overcomes hardships and becomes known for her bravery. This book would be best suited for 3rd or 4th grade students.

IN MY CLASSROOM:
I would use this volume in my 3rd or 4th course classroom to innovate the topic of Native Americans and the style they were treated by outsiders. This volume provides a unlike perspective about Sacagawea and how she was a key figure during the Lewis and Clark expedition. This hopefully will assistance my students to understand that this land was not 'discovered' by people such as Columbus and Lewis & Clark but that it originally belonged to the Native American people and their land was taken from them.

I would too similar to use this volume along with the other "I am" books to introduce my students to biographies. Sometimes, biographies are non interesting and are full of text but this series of books may engage students more and go them excited most unlike types of text. Students could also use these texts to start their research on an of import historical figure!

This book could also exist used to practice reading strategies such as inferences. Students tin read the text and come up upwardly with inferences virtually Sacagawea's thoughts, feelings nigh colonization, and her graphic symbol traits.

This book could too be incorporated into your history lessons on Western expansion so that students tin can learn about the exploration of the Due west from viewpoints others than white males.

Sacagawea was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who, at sixteen, met and helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition in achieving their chartered mission objectives by exploring the Louisiana Territory. She traveled with the trek thousands of miles from Northward Dakota to the Pacific Ocean and helped institute cultural contacts with Native American populations in addition to her contributions to natural history.

Meltzer's text is rather simplistic, straightforward, and informative. The narrative is written in simple language and notwithstanding spotlights the titular character rather well. Eliopoulos' illustration are a tad cartoonish, merely apropos to the narrative and target audience.

The premise of the book is rather straightforward. The narrative makes information technology clear that the famed Native American guide of the Lewis and Clark Expedition had a lot of adversity to deal with, offset with her proper noun, as her real proper name is unknown and Sacagawea is the name given by captors.

She was significant when she started the journeying.

Translating was very difficult and took lots of time. Shoshone was said, then translated into Hidaska, then French, and finally English.

Her son, Pomp, was named after a Roman General.

Not simply did she translate for Lewis and Clark, she also institute food for the group along the manner and guided them through many passageways.

When their canoe tipped over, it was Sacagawea, and not any of the men, who gathered up all their supplies and equipment!

During their long trek, they had to swallow candles to go along from starving!

In her laurels, the Sacagawea gilded dollar coin was issued past the U. S. mint in 2000.

The moral of this story was Sacagawea was a girl, teenager, the just one with a baby and a native American even so she surpassed their expectation by a long shot.
I learned that Sacagawea spoke two native American languages; one of which her husband knew. He would translate it into french then someone on the crew would translate it into English for Lewis and Clark. It was like whisper downward the lane.

December 29, 2021 Heather rated it liked information technology

I would have liked to see a modern-day pronunciation of her proper noun. The listing of the ways information technology has been spelled is interesting, but no one has a clear way of pronouncing it today.

I liked the addition of the Shoshoni words, but again pronunciations would be useful. Oh, and that of Charboneau.

I did not know where the picture on the golden dollar came from, and so I enjoyed that tidbit.

Also, maybe she stayed with Lewis & Clark because they really began to see she could assistance them and really feel useful.

Also, mayhap she stayed with Lewis & Clark because they actually began to see she could assistance them and really feel useful. With the Shoshoni I hear women were treated pretty poorly. Maybe it was better with the expedition.

I meet why some citizens are concerned virtually having this in schools, but it was the reality at the time, and then kids should know nigh it, just like they should know about Harriet Tubman's or Helen Keller's struggles. That'due south the betoken of these books - overcoming difficulties and striving to alive daringly and change the world for the better.
