Age of Exploration Unit Project

Due:     Wednesday, October 14, 2009           

Description:  In our unit on the Age of Exploration we will investigate the motives of European explorers in the 15th and 16th centuries, identify the impact of new technologies related to navigation and sailing, track exploration routes and finally evaluate the impact exploration had on Europe, Native Americans and the world today.

Notes 

• You should type and save all of your work in a Word document first.  After your work is saved you can copy and paste it into your explorer page.  This will act as a back-up.

• Be sure to give all of your files appropriate names (e.g., Columbus map AC or Hudson bio AC).  Notice that I included my explorers name along with the content of the document and my initials.  This will make it easier to locate and identify your work. 

   

Help!
