ThinkQuest

I found this interesting project on westward expansion in the ThinkQuest library.  I think I would use a project like this in my future classroom because I think it gives an interesting way for students to learn about how the population of the United States moved West and some of the things that made that possible.  People didn't just pop up out of nowhere in California, they had to have came from somewhere.  I think students would find this interesting to work together to learn how the Western United States was shaped.
