Explorer

We defined explorer, looking at what characteristics or traits are consistent within most explorers, as well as making sure to recognize that there were usually many other people who were involved but often unnamed.  It's kind of sad, really.

I showed you how to create a Google Presentation (Powerpoint Slides) and share it with me, Mrs. Karlsson, and within your group.  You placed into pairs and trios and assigned a specific explorer/conqueror.  For each explorer/conqueror, you must find and organize the following information in 2-3 slides or pictures:

1. Basic Information, including:
• FULL NAME
• Birth Date/city/nation
• Picture
2. Previous experience(s)
3. Nation for which he explored/conquered & purpose of journey
4. Map of journey
5. Difficulties encountered (& overcome): obstacles, dangers, etc.
6. Immediate result of journey:  How did the journey impact the world at that time?
7. Long-term result of journey:  How has the journey affected us today?
8. Source Citations:  You should copy the url (web) address from which you collected information, ideas, or images. This should be on a separate slide (2nd or 3rd).

You will present it to class on Friday, 9-26-14.

I have a Neil Armstrong sample that took me 5 minutes...it is rough, incomplete, and VERY basic.
