This Web Quest, Erie Canal: The Little Ditch That Did, allows students to expand their understanding of life on the canal by creating a newspaper from the canal era with a team of staff members. The emphasis of the newspaper will reflect how the Erie Canal changed the lives of people living in 19th century New York.
