What educators are saying
Description
This Explorer poster is an awesome research tool. I have my students fill this out while they are completing their research on their chosen explorer. This allows the students to easily see what information they still need to find, and access their research when writing their essays. The great thing about this product is that it can stand alone without an essay or additional project, or serves as an effective scaffold to an Early Explorer project.
Students are required to find:
- Name of explorer
- Route of most famous exploration
- Reason or motivation for exploration
- Draw their portrait
- Birth year and Death Year
- Where they were born
- Favorite Facts
- What they were famous for
This resource also includes a card for the following explorers:
- Leif Ericson
- Marco Polo
- Francisco Pizarro
- Prince Henry
- Bartolomeu Dias
- Christopher Columbus
- Amerigo Vespucci
- John Cabot
- Vasco De Gama
- Vasco De Balboa
- Ponce De Leon
- Ferdinand Magellan
- Hernando Cortes
- Sir Francis Drake
- Samuel De Champlain
- Henry Hudson
- Jacques Cartier
- Francisco Coronado
- Hernando De Soto
- James Cook
*****UPDATED VERSION*****
- Now includes blank cards as well as:
- Robert de La Salle
- John Smith
- Daniel Boone
- Lewis, Clark, & Sacagawea
Students must provide the nation the explorer represented, their purpose for exploration, a favorite fact or accomplishment, and draw the route of the explorers on a map.
I have every student complete one of these sheets. For explorer projects students work in groups so these sheets are a great way to keep everyone accountable. I hope you enjoy this poster as much as my students and I do.
Stay tuned for foldables for interactive notebooks, when teaching your class about early explorers.
