Explorer Extra Credit Project

Just in case the informational sheet that was sent home on Monday did not make it here is an additional copy! If your child forgot which explorer they got just let me know, because I have a master list. 

Explorer Report & Poster Extra Credit Opportunity

Due Date: November 7, 2017 

Assignment: You are to do a ONE page report on _______________________________. 

In your report, include details like:
Where are they originally from?
What did they explore and discover on their exploration?
Were they sent by someone else to discover something?
What was their journey like? If it was difficult, what made it difficult?
Did they have any help?
What was the end result of their discovery?
These are just a FEW things you can include in your report.   You will be presenting this report to your classroom.  Tell us things that are interesting, because it is! J  Please write this as neatly as possible or you may type it.  DO NOT COPY STRAIGHT FROM A SOURCE (BOOK, INTERNET, ETC.)  Please use your own words.

On your poster, include:
Your written report attached to the back of your poster.
The name of your explorer displayed clearly at the top of your poster.
A picture of your explorer.
A map with the route of your explorer clearly displayed.
These will be displayed in the hall- so make them look good!

EXTRA EXTRA CREDIT:  If you dress up like your explorer while you give your presentation, you will receive extra credit points on your Social Studies grade. Be creative- look around your house and your parents’ closets (with their permission) for things to use as a costume.

Please rehearse reciting your report, pronouncing names, etc.  BEFORE the presentation date, because you will lose points if you are not prepared!  

THIS WILL BE COUNT AS 100 EXTRA CREDIT POINTS!
