Excellent Explorers Project
You will be working with a group to create an explorer presentation. Each member of your group will be graded on their portion of the presentation.
Step 1 You will each need to choose one explorer to research.
Marco Polo Vasco da Gama
Henry the Navigator Christopher Columbus
Bartholomeu Dias Ferdinand Magellan
Step 2 You will need to login to your google account.
Step 3 You will create a timeline (Must have at least 5 dates with information)
Use Google Drawings - create diagrams and charts, for free.
Make sure to give your timeline a title and put your name on your timeline.
Your timeline should show WHEN THE HISTORICAL FIGURE you chose impacted exploration (Find out WHEN he lived and explored). Share it with your group members. (Eventually you will use this info to put your slides in chronological order.)
Step 4 Create your presentation
Use Google Slides
Each person will be responsible for at least 1 slide in the presentation that includes:
1. Details of the importance of your historical figure.
examples: What did he do? Why should we know about him? What impact did he have on Exploration?
2. Each person must find & insert a map to identify the area of importance for each figure.
3. Each person must find and insert a quotation or piece of textual evidence that relates to the historical importance of their figure.
4. Each person must find and include a picture of the historical figure.
Decide as a group the chronological order of your historical figures.
1 person will create a slide presentation in Google Drive and share (can edit) with the other group members and your teacher ([email protected]). Each historical figure needs a slide with details, map, quotation, and a picture; and each group member will be responsible for at least 1 slide.
IF YOU HAVE TIME LEFT OVER: Add to your slides! You can add: more pictures, a relevant video (if less than 4 minutes), animation, and sound effects.
