1.  When and where do you leave from in the Oregon Trail game?  Where are you headed?  What route did you take?

2.  How do you organize your wagon and wagon train?  What goods and material have you determined are essential to successful trail travel?  How many animals did you have?  How many hours did you travel per day and what was your rate of travel?  Did you rest often?

3.  What difficulties did you or your party experience?  Do you think these difficulties were likely routinely experienced by actual trail migrants during the mid-19th century?  Are there experiences of nineteenth century trail travel that might not have been adequately reflected in this simulation game?

4.  Were you able to make your trip successfully?  If so, what strategies did you adopt to do so?  If not, what caused your failure to reach your destination?

5.   How are intercultural relations experienced in this game?  Did you have any encounters with Indian people?
