Columbus Day and Explorer Report


Today is Columbus Day and the students are learning about Christopher Columbus.  I have a packet of information and activities for each of them to do.  The information is such that we will be able to do a prewrite using Inspiration and then write a report together as a class.  This will be a model for them to write their own explorer reports.  The model for the prewrite is shown above this entry.
