  • major voyages
  • discoveries
  • contact with indigenous peoples
  • consequences & impact of voyages
  • any other interesting facts
You are expected to use at least 2 sources & keep a bibliography


Goals: Your information will be shared in a short presentation – in an interview format. One partner should be the explorer. You need to write a script which should answer (at least) the points listed above. Create a setting and circumstance for your interview. Your goal is to make your presentation informative, realistic, natural, and interesting. You and your partner will be making your presentation in front of an audience of your peers, teachers, and parents.
