Expedition Express Fire and Ice: Students have continued to learn more about the fascinating history of Truckee and our early beginnings in industry and economics. Our crew has completed a timeline of events in Truckee’s history, dating back to 1844. After completion of the timeline, students worked collaboratively to help create three original Reader’s Theater scripts based on the informational texts we read in class. Each script contains factual information on Ice Harvesting, Lumber Mills, and Fire in Truckee during the late 1800’s.
