Into the West Extra Credit Opportunity--
After watching the second episode of the six part miniseries, make a list of the top three (3) obstacles that you think challenged these early settlers and pioneers. Then, find at least one specific example from the episode for each obstacle that supports your opinion. Be specific when you describe the examples. (Three obstacles, at least three examples)
**Typically, I would show the episode beginning around 45 minutes in; however, it might help to watch from the start to gain some background. :)
Due: No later than April 10, 2020

**SUCCESSFULLY completing this activity will be worth up to 10 points on your lowest test grade this semester that is NOT a benchmark.
