Many of you have heard of the books, “I Walked to Zion”and “I Sailed to Zion”
by Susan Madsen and Fred Woods, both of which I highly recommend for a Utah Studies class. It’s full of stories from immigrant children and youth who made the long, strenuous journey to Utah. Find out what kinds of things they encountered, and the different trials experienced and lessons learned along the way.

Before you become too scared to try this out, let me say that this idea actually came from my sophomore year of high school. I had a student teacher in my history class that did this activity with us, and I still remember it to this day! It was so much fun, just because it was different!
You’d be surprised at how much they’ll like this activity. It’s something new! Tell us how this went, and which stories you recommend the most from these books.
