Life as a Homesteader

. Go to this link and look at the picture at the top of an early homestead.

1.Make at least 5 observations in your about  the picture.

 Have someone in the group read the letter that follows a little below the picture of the early home, at #3.
2. What would be different taking a picnic today, a hundred years later.

3.What would be still the same?

 Now have someone read about clearing land.

Read number 9 and number 10, about life on the homestead, in your groups.

4. What advice does the women give that applies today to people looking for relationships online?

5. An acre is about the size of a soccer field. How long would it take to break it? How much would this cost if you hired someone?

6. What food would homesteaders here on the prairies eat come April?
