"Are We There Yet? The More or Less True Story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition" by Burton Bumgarner is set in the early 1800s, the narrative begins with President Thomas Jefferson commissioning Meriwether Lewis to explore the uncharted western territories of the United States. Lewis, joined by the enthusiastic Wendy Clark (a playful twist on the historical William Clark), assembles a diverse and quirky crew for the expedition.
Throughout their journey from St. Louis to the Pacific Northwest, the team encounters various challenges and eccentric characters, all portrayed with true 6th grade comedic flair! The story is interspersed with modern-day classroom scenes, where two contrasting teachers, Dr. Dull and Dr. Kean, provide context and commentary, adding another layer of humor. Don't miss this fun performance by our 6th graders!
