Webquest:Exploring the world 1
Posted By linda on October 27, 2007
We started an unit about explorers of the past. Now, it is your turn to explore the internet and learn about the explorers of the past. We just learned that it wasn’t Columbus who discovered America but someone else. Can you remember who? Read the book called Explorers & Mapmakers pages 4-15. Why do you think maps were important? Once, you finished reading the book continue on your own journey by going here. You will discover what it was like to be one of the first explorers by going to this site. Your journey will continue on to the next explorer’s journey to China. Can you guess, who it is? That’s right, it is Marco Polo. Go here to learn more about China. This is first quest on your journey through history. Next journey starts in Spain….
I stink at geography, and apparently history too. =:)
