Age of Exploration – Map Project
For this project, you are to create a two-sided map. On one side will
be a detailed map showing the voyage routes of major European
explorers. The other side will contain information about the
explorers, their voyages, and the time period. Use chapter 6 in the
world history book (pgs. 208-226) and chapter 18 in the red book (pgs.
347-363) as a resource. This project will be graded on content,
organization, and understanding; the majority of the project will be
completed during class time. Your map project should include the
