Timeline Project (Day 3)
Objective(s):
Given a chromebook with access to Google Docs, students will be able to produce a historical Timeline of explorers, navigation tools, inventors, and maps as it relates to the history of cartography, and the expansion of european created maps, using either Google Slides OR the Hstry.co timeline maker
Rationale: Understanding the role each of the 4 contributing elements had to the history of cartography and exploration. This will enable students to make the connections between a country or kingdoms desire for expansion, wealth, and fame and the difficulties encountered by those exploring.
Evidence: Being able to chronologically place each of the main events/advancements/etc along a timeline will demonstrate the various influences each had on the development and advancement of cartography.
