Explorers Project

Delve into the Age of Exploration with a multiple-intelligences research project. Learners generate a rubric and worksheet to guide their studies and research one explorer. There is emphasis on research skills, citing sources, paraphrasing information, and note-taking. They synthesize their findings into a five-page diary entry from their explorer and create a map to show their route. Then, they role-play and interview each of the explorers. There are no attached documents here; they are all intended to be student-created.
