Lesson # 2 - Explorers of the New World (Homework):
Benchmarks: SS.8.2.2 - Historical Perspectives and Interpretations - Describe why different people may have different perspectives of the same historical event and multiple interpretations should be considered in order to avoid historical linearity and inevitability.
Draw a world map. Use the world map in your planner as a model. Then draw lines with arrows and label these lines with an explorer's last name and the year they explored the New World. Use any Social Studies textbook as a guide. Secondly, use colored pencils/pens to color areas of North America where these people settled: New Netherlands, German settlements, French settlement areas, English, Scandinavia settlements), Spanish settlements, Portuguese settlements, African slave territories. You may also use the Internet sites and type the words:
explorers+Columbus+Spanish Conquistadors+Vikings, etc.
