Exploration!

Let's think about exploration!

We have learned about two different explorers from different countries. Now, it is time to think about exploration. Use what you have learned from these important historical people and think about the idea of exploring.
You are going to be writing an essay very soon in Canadian Studies, but you are going to first think about the topics.

Topics
1. Exploration is important for countries.
2. Exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding.

Your job today:

1. Can you find three different pictures to show how exploration is important for countries? Explain each one carefully in 5-8 sentences. Each picture should show a different perspective on why exploration is important.

Remember to record where you got your picture from.

Bonus
Answer the same questions for topic #2
