In-Class on Friday: Global Explorers Throw-Down
Each group will receive an explorer. On your big paper, you should create a visual that promotes your explorer as the 'Explorer Extraodinaire"
Information to research:
Who - who are they, where are they from, background info
Where are they going? (or trying to go) - do they make it? (sketch of their journey)
When are they traveling?
Why? What is their goal? God, Gold, Glory?
Technology used?
Why should your explorer be the ultimate explorer?
AFTER your visual has been created, hang it on the wall. You will have 2 minutes to sell your explorer to the class.
Where are you getting your information? Ch 22 and 23.
