Extension Activity 2

Using the answers to your questions, write a short report about your explorer. It must be half a page of foolscap paper long, and should tell the reader:

  1. When the explorer was born and when they died
  2. What they were looking for
  3. Where they went
  4. The dangers they faced
  5. How they got along with Native peoples
  6. How they died
  7. What was most important and remembered about their exploration and life

Use proper sentences, grammar and spelling. The report should have a title and an illustration (picture), which you can make yourself, or, if your teacher will let you, you can print a picture from the Passageways website and stick it onto the page.
