Original PromptAge of Exploration to fourth grade
This learning resource focuses on the significant figures and motivations behind historical explorations. Students will learn to identify major explorers such as Columbus, Magellan, and Cartier and understand their motivations represented by the 'Three Gs': God, Gold, and Glory. The resource includes several multiple-choice questions to reinforce this knowledge, as well as opportunities for students to reflect on their favorite explorer and discuss the challenges faced by sailors during long voyages. Moreover, there's a practical task encouraging students to create a simple compass rose and describe navigational tools that were vital for explorers.
