European Explorers

You will use the research resources given to help with the following activities:

Your first task will be to choose one European explorer to research.

You will need to find the reasons for exploration, obstacles faced along the way, and accomplishments for that explorer.
When putting all of your research together make a circle map to explain all the facts you found out about your explorer.

Your second task will be to present your explorer in a "Who am I" presentation.

In this activity you will need to find ten facts about your explorer. Make sure to have a variety of facts.
You can decide on one of three choices in how to present your explorer.
CHOICE #1: Prompt your classmates to guess who you are with a list of ten fun facts about your explorer. You will begin with fact # 10 , which should be the most difficult, and end with fact #1, which should be the most well known fact for that explorer.
CHOICE #2: Share the information as the explorer yourself. Speak in first person telling us your life story, or read from your (the explorers) journal.
CHOICE # 3: Use note cards or a report format to share explorer information with the class.
