Presentations

As a group, the student presented their paragraphs, maps, and artifacts to teach to their classmates.  The explorers we focused on were Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, Marco Polo, Juan Ponce de Leon, Henry Hudson, and Hernando Cortes.  The students were given a rubric for how they would be graded.
