European Explorer Research Project/CCSS Aligned

I have done this research project in my social studies class for several years, and it has met with great success. By the time you are done prepping your students using the teacher notes included in this packet, your students will be ready to research and publish a research project on their chosen explorer as well as give a finely crafted oral presentation. This bundle includes the following:

* A student instruction/description of project

* List of scheduled due dates

* Oral presentation guidelines

* Student cover template

* Early years research organizer

* Exploration notes organizer

* Exploration map rough draft

* Exploration map final copy

* Explorer Report Template

* Rubric

* Extensive teaching notes

** During this time when we are out of school and engaging with our students online and in a distance learning capacity, you may distribute my products to you students using the internet (but not in a way so that they are available to EVERYONE on the internet) Ex: Google Classroom is fine!**
