2 Culminating Writing Task Exemplar Student Response The Louisiana Territory was purchased in 1803 by Robert Livingston and James Monroe from France for $15 million. Three main events led to the Louisiana Purchase. They were American settlers needing the Port of New Orleans, President Thomas Jefferson wanting to increase the size of the United States, and Napoleon needing money to fund his war with Great Britain. First, American settlers needed to use the Port of New Orleans to ship their goods to the East and send lumber and furs to Europe. At first, Americans could use the port because of a treaty called the Treaty of Lorenzo. But as more people moved west, the Spanish changed their minds and made Americans pay a tax to use the port. Then, in October 1802, the Spanish decided the Americans could not use the warehouses at all and the Americans became angry. The Louisiana Purchase would guarantee Americans could use the Port of New Orleans. Also, Thomas Jefferson became President of the United States in Thomas Jefferson wanted to grow the size of the United States and also did not want France to own land in America. He sent his friend Robert Livingston to France to negotiate a purchase of the Port of New Orleans. After months of no progress, Thomas Jefferson sent James Monroe to help Robert Livingston in France and try to buy the Port of New Orleans and the Floridas. Together, they negotiated the purchase of the Port of New Orleans and the rest of the Louisiana Territory. Finally, Napoleon was constantly almost at war with Great Britain because he wanted to build an empire for France. He needed money to fund these wars but his settlement at St. Domingue disappeared after the slaves revolted. Napoleon agreed to sell Louisiana because he needed the money. The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 doubled the size of the United States and allowed American settlers the use of the Port of New Orleans again.

The journey took a long time, the winter was harsh, and without Native American help they probably would not have survived. First, the journey took a long time. According to American Explorers, the explorers traveled only a few miles each day. The speaker in Traveling With Lewis and Clark even said that he would have stayed home if he had known how hard it would be to travel this way. Next, the winter was harsh for the explorers. They could not travel because the river was icy. In Traveling with Lewis and Clark the author says that their hands were too cold to paddle. Even though they had brought food, they had to hunt for food and they slept in camps along the river. Finally, the Native Americans helped the explorers find food and make camps. The text American Explorers says that a Native American named Sacagawea became a guide for Lewis and Clark. Without her help, they might not have survived the journey. Although Lewis and Clark s journey through the Louisiana Territory was difficult, they were able to accomplish their goals of exploring the Territory s wildlife and creating maps for future settlers.

7 Extension Task Exemplar Student Response When we arrived on the shore, the frightened Indians were happy to see Sacagawea because she helped them understand that my men were friendly. Hello, welcome to our home, one of the women said to Sacagawea. Thank you, she replied. Do you have somewhere we could stay? We need a lodge for tonight. As the men settled into the lodges, I roamed around the camp. Sniff sniff. I can smell it - fish. My stomach rumbles as I head toward the fire. Seaman! I jump with a start as Meriweather Lewis yells for me. Some of the Indian children are pointing at me and laughing. I wander over to Lewis and he grabs a handful of my fur and begins to rub me. The children join him. Even though I love the attention, and the good petting, I can only think of the fish I smell cooking on the fire. Lewis continues to tell the children about me saving my men from the buffalo coming into our camp. Finally, we join the others at the fire. I sit. I am patiently waiting to try the fish. The men are calling to each other about how delicious the fish is. My mouth starts to drool as I wait for my bite. Finally, York notices my patients and tosses me a bite. Salmon trout, the mean call it. It is every bit as delicious as they said. After more fish and watching John Ordway and William Clark add to their journals about the day s discoveries it is finally time for bed. HONK! What was that? I wondered. I stood up and turned a few circles before settling back down to sleep. HONK! I stood again, this time waiting and listening. After another moment of silence, I nestled into my bed once more. HONK! HONK! I stood up with my fur on end, growling at the night air. Settle, boy. I hear Lewis say. It s only the swans and geese. With that horrid noise, I will never sleep, I think. I laid in bed listening to the geese and swans honk all night. Maybe tomorrow we will get to watch the seals play in the water some more. I began to dream of watching the seals bark at each other and dance through the waves. I tasted the fish in my memory once more as I drifted off to sleep.
