Mrs Lindorf's starter for today is: How would you feel if you were Christopher Columbus the night before your first voyage?
We discussed the starter and then completed the explorers chart that we began last time.
The vocabulary words for today were: crusades, astrolabe, mercantilism, and caravel.
We watched a brief introductory video on exploration.
We read about Columbus and his times in the textbook. We finished the day by discussing the Columbian Exchange and completing an assignment on the exchange.
