Description

Overview:
Students will be allowed to select a partner and will be assigned a specific explorer from the age of exploration. Depending on the class, you can let the student select their explorer, but part of the idea is that each group has a different person to research as the projects will be presented to the class and help in the instruction and learning of each explorer. They will inherently be collaborating as they are working in pairs. They will be communicating their ideas, thoughts, and research by publishing their brochure and video for others across the grade level to see. Some will even be used as examples in future years. They are allowed nearly full creative power other than that they have to create a brochure on Canva. The critical thinking piece comes from doing their own research into the lives, explorations, and adventures of their explorer, deciding what is important and what they want to include, as well as how they will present their findings. They will also be tasked with identifying the impact that this explorer had on the world both during their time as well as how that impacts us today.
