1-2 S.S 8: We started a new unit on The Age of Exploration! I gave a mini lecture on why exactly European’s wanted to begin to set sail and go to other countries and continents around the world. Students filled in guided notes. Then, we watched a Crash Course video on the three main mariners from the 15th century – Zheng He, Vasco De Gama, and Christopher Columbus. This was just an introduction to them – we will going more in depth in classes to come. Students were given the rest of class to work on a worksheet package about ships and navigation – all information can be found in their textbooks. This is due next class, Friday December 8th. We will be having a unit test on Wednesday, December 20th.
