2.  Responsibilities are as follows:
       Reader will orally read information found on websites.
    Writer will write notes of information and facts that group thinks might be used in the game.

3.  "First you need to learn about how to invent a game." (http://www.onlineclass.com/trail/unit_one/game1.html)  Consider the layouts of various gameboards such as Monopoly, Pay Day, Sorry, etc.    Think of appropriate game pieces or persons.  What method of "movement" will you use - dice, cards, spinner, penny toss?  What obstacles or problems will you incorporate?  What instructions will you need to give to players?  Click here to print out a checklist to help you in your planning.

4.  After completing the checklist and deciding on the above questions, begin your research using the resources listed on the Resources page.  "Now is when you learn about the expedition.  As you read through the history of the expedition, keep the game in mind.  What would make good challenges in your game?  Save up the historical information you are learning.  It will come in handy later.  For example, there is a website that lists the equipment taken on the expedition and a list of the expedition members.  How can you use these lists in your game?"
