Teach--Understand

Choose ONE of the following (these are required to turn in):

• Choose your own inspirement (this must be turned in as a hand written copy, so no prezis this time)
• Research Captain Cook or another explorer; Leif Ericson, John Cabot, Amerigo Vespucci, Vasco de Balboa, Vasco De Gama, Juan Ponce de Leon, Francisco de Coronado, Hernado De Soto, Samuel de Champlain, Hernando Cortes. Write a report telling us about the explorer, where he went, why and what kind of man he was. Don't forget the why, it makes a difference. And..don't forget to put him on your timeline.
• Find out about the settlement, Roanoak, and make up a story about what you think happened to them. Get creative! Be prepared to hand in :)
• Create a map with the travels of all of the explorers. Be prepared to turn in your map and share at least one of them in class.
• If you were to discover a new world what would you like it to be like? How did you get there and what adventures did you have on your way? Share this in a graphic summary , poem, skit or story. If you are doing a skit it should be printed out and parts assigned before class, and please hand in a written copy. Have fun with this!!!
• Find out about one of the islands that James Cook went to or one in the Pacific Ocean and do a presentation on the culture of that island. Again- no prezis!

Serve--Become

Choose ONE of the following to apply what you have learned:

• Mafutu, in Call it Courage goes through the process of becoming a man. What are some of the things your culture uses to define this right of passage? What are some of the experiences and responsibilities this week that show you are more capable than you have been? Record in your journal.
• It takes courage to travel where no one has been before. Do something this week that takes you out of your comfort zone. Record in your journal.
• Choose a “Become” from the Apprentice or Master readings.
