Challenge opportunity

We are starting our explorer unit, and some of the kids have mentioned they would appreciate a challenge opportunity. Here is it:

Using credible research materials (library books, websites from trusted encyclopedias or other sources), choose an explorer to learn about.

Find out these things:

Name, nationality, dates of famous explorations, where he went, why he went those places, what he discovered there, find a picture or photo of the explorer, what was the result of the expedition, etc.

Decide on a way to share your information--here are some options: write a short paper, create a small poster, make a powerpoint slide show, etc. (Ask for paper in school if you need it.)

Be as creative as you can be! But remember your information must be accurate, and your work must be neat and easy to understand.

Have fun exploring!
