Explorers Homework Project

Parents-

Students will be bringing home their project today!  They have already had over 6 hours of classroom time dedicated to research their topic.  Students have been considering/researching the following questions:



Historical Explorer
  • Who was the explorer?
  • Timeline of his/her career
  • Where/what did he/she explore?
  • Facts
  • Why was the person exploring (the goals of the mission)
  • Accomplishments and/or failures
  • Lessons learned
 Modern Day Exploration
  • What area of exploration did you choose?
  • When (timeline)
  • Achievements and/or failures
  • Why explore this?
  • Discoveries
Comparisons
  • What did the two explorations have in common?
  • What is different?
  • What were the challenges that each faced?
  • Lessons learned

Question: What could the modern explorers learn from the historical explorers to be more successful?

Students are bringing home posterboard to begin their work.  The project is due next Friday (February 18th).  See attached example of a poster presentation.
