Trace Their Journeys
"With this project, students walk an uncharted mile in the shoes of history's great explorers,
mapping territory as they discover it and developing imaginary journals of their exploits.
Best of all, students post their work in "real time" on a classroom Web site so classmates and
others can follow the explorers as they go!"
