Your next task is to choose an event in history involving a Spanish explorer. Learn about his discoveries and think about how he influenced the world we live in today. Locate ebooks, audio books, and/or websites which will provide you with historical information. Which explorer will you learn about using those sources?
Here is a list of explorers you may choose from:
|
Hernan Cortes, Juan Ponce de Leon, Amerigo Vespucci, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, Christopher Columbus, and Francisco Pizarro. If there is an explorer that you are familiar with who is not on this list, you may request permission to use that explorer for your project.

During your research, keep in mind that you will be using this information to help you write a firsthand account in your "diary". You may, for example, imagine that you are Christopher Columbus, and create a diary entry as a first person account of historical events. If there are a series of events, they should be listed in chronological order and depicted on a timeline. Proceed to the Resources page to begin your research.
