Take a look at this picture. I posted some of your "team promise" ideas on stickies on the computer. I grouped them by color. For example, yellow post-its are promises the yellow team came up with. Look at the ideas your classmates came up with. Think about which promises are most important for your group. Be prepared to talk about this with your teams in class tomorrow.

Possible presentation?
This Columbus video looks like it was made by a student using iMovie. What do you think about the student's ideas? What do you think about the presentation itself? Perhaps you'd like to create an iMovie about your explorer.
More explorer videos
Here are 2 more videos about exploration in general. Watch them and make comments. What did you learn? Why do people explore?

Dec. 4 HOMEWORK
Boys and girls,
Take a look at all the comments your classmates have left after each video. Then think about the bold questions that I asked you about each video. Can you add to an idea another student has left? Do you have a new idea to add to our discussion? Try to focus on our 4 inquiry questions:
1. Why do people explore?
2. How does exploration cause change?
3. Why do people have different points of view about exploration?
4. What are the characteristics of explorers?
I can't wait to read your comments!
Sincerely,
Ms. Gallagher
