Task:
Process:
:STEP 1
     Why did people explore? Click here to get an overview on why people went out into the world, risk their lives and 'explore'. Use the Internet information linked below to answer the basic questions of who? what? where? when? why? and how? Be creative in exploring the information so that you answer these questions as fully and insightfully as you can.
STEP 2
     You will use this information to create a Graphic Presentation in a flow chart setup that we will title, 'Explorers of the Millennium'. Each of you will create a  chapter in the presentation that will include:

• Who (Background information, nationality, timeline information about the explorer including a photo),
• What did he plan to do, what did he want to find
• Where did he sail to and reason(s)for the trip(s), difficulties encountered, as a result of the exploration,
• What did he discover,
• Map of departures, destinations, and land explored or claimed

Step 3:
Inspiration Process: Take a look at what is meant by 'graphic organizers' before you need to build one of your own. Make your own diagram on scrap paper. Plan out what you will do.

Step 4: Recreate your graphic plan using Inspiration.  Put your work into ":Landscape" format. Place appropriate graphics in your work. Use a good sense of font and color design to your boxes.

Step 5: Check all work before printing. Check for completeness! In addition do a spell and grammar check of your work.
