I have drawn a picture that shows an
interesting moment from the Lewis and
Clark expedition.
The picture I’ve made looks good and
reflects the hard work and time I’ve spent
on it. I did not draw using stick figures.
I colored my picture and did not trace.
I spent all of my time productively
working on this picture and the report – I
didn’t waste my time.
I have included a quote at the top (or
bottom) of this picture that…
Is between 2 and 3 sentences and
includes the exact words and spelling as
the original journals.
Includes the author’s name and the date
that the quote was written.
