EXPLORERS PROJECT
When learning about early Map Making, it should transition into how were those maps used and or expanded into the maps we know today. For that, we will study early explorers to understand why they ventured out to "discover" new lands and how maps were shaped by these voyages.
An explorer will be assigned to each student. The Explorer you are assigned is the explorer with the same number as your current seat.
i.e student sitting at seat 11 gets explorer #11
The directions for the project are listed below
This map is very big, and you should crop out the part of the Map where your Explorer took his voyage(s). Use Google Slides to draw the path(s) from where your Explorer started and where he landed. Be sure to use dates and different colors to depict different voyages (if he, in fact, took more than one voyage)
