Technical non-success! Explorers!

Apologies.  The blog did not load, and I can assure you it was user error!  These are not study groups, but the main explorers of Washington are few, so several children will do the same historical figure. 

Juan Perez---  Anna, Stephanie, Isaiah

Bruno de Heceta (Hezeta)- ---Bella Courcy and Sophia Clerget (I have a resource you may photocopy in the office if needed for this guy, not much in the book.)

Captain James Cook--- Bella Davis, Liam, Jordan, Blake 

George Vancouver---John, Jianna, Maggie

Robert Gray---Owen, Jairus, Phoebe

Explorer Report Due 2/6/14

1.  Format should be a typed or very neatly handwritten paper consisting of a report over the assigned explorer who was important to Washington State History and including an illustration.

2.  The following information should be included in your report

• Full name of explorer
• Country of origin
• Reason for exploration (resources, territory claiming…)
• Area discovered
• Effects of his visit, if any,  on the culture of the Native Americans
• Are any places named for this explorer?

3. Spelling, grammar, complete sentences, and good sentence transitions matter.

4. Report should be at least 250 words.

5. Illustration may be from photocopy, hand-drawn neatly, or copied and pasted into a document from the internet.  Adding color with map pencils is an excellent choice if your illustration is black and white.

6. Title your report with your explorer’s name. Capitalize his name.

7. Create a byline with your name under the title above the report.

8. You’re done!
