Thursday

Students received the "Who Discovered America" Packet. Individually, students will take notes on a separate sheet of paper on the different people and/or groups who claim to have discovered America. 1-2 bullet points of information will be fine for each section. When finished, please hang onto the notes. You'll need them for the rest of the week.

Friday
Students will put themselves into groups of 4 and create a poster as to who they think deserves the credit for discovering America. Students will create a poster using a piece of butcher paper (this will be provided for you) explaining who they think deserves credit for the discovery of America and why. The poster must have the following:
- Title (“Who Discovered America?”)
- Theory (e.g. “We believe ________ deserves the credit for the founding of America.”)
- Selected documents/evidence to support your theory
- Visuals to help illustrate your theory
