Secrets Of The Sailors

So we have been doing a unit on pirates and European navigators. This has led us to learning about many historical figures and landmarks which in the end turned into a big meuseum exhibit that we would present at the exhibition night along with Blue Sky and our science projects.

So to start off at the beginning we started learning about if the European exploration had a positive or negative outcome. I chose negative, because if you really thing about it there were tons of disease that were spread causing millions of people to die and since there was so much war over land there were so many murders and deaths that impacted the outcome. Next we started to go more into what they discovered, how they did it and there motivation to do it. We leaned that they where motivated by land, religion, gold and knowledge and we learned about the passages that they took and we covered the outcome.

So now that all the learning was done it was time to present our knowledge and what we learned through a exhibit that we created by splitting into three groups. Each group had a specific topic to cover means, desire and outcome our group was the means which was basically how they did it. First we had to come up with a title and as you might already know our title was The Secrets Of The Sailors. Next we had to pick out a few headings (basically the top things that influenced how they did it) and we chose ships, gold, tools and nationality. Now it was time to decorate it. Our class chose three main colours wich where burgundy, navy blue and white. Then we picked out a few pictures and we where all set! In the end the meuseum was quite successful and I learned quite a few things!
