Today In History

This week in history we spent our time discussing some of the first explorers to reach the Americas from Europe. Some of those people include Christopher Columbus, John Cabot, and Amerigo Vespucci who America was named after. We were broken up into groups and had to recreate the trade route by constructing a map of the world and showing what country used what route. At the end of the week we were given a solo project that involved making a brochure that summarized a prominent figure in Chapter 13. I chose Christopher Columbus for mine and finshed the project this Sunday.
