Explorer's Project Work on Writing

Your One Pager will include:

• A central portrait of your Explorer and their name.

• Introduction: Explain who your explorer is as if you were sharing information with someone who has never heard of them. This should be general information to orient your reader to your essay.   

• Personal Background: What is your explorer’s country of origin (birthplace)? Do they have any special training, apprenticeships or experiences that prepared them for their explorations? 

• Intended Discovery/Sponsor What was your explorer’s intended discovery? What were they in search of? Which country ultimately sponsored their trip? How did they acquire the sponsorship?

• Discovery: What did they ultimately find or discover? What was claimed in the name of their sponsors? What was the significance of their discovery?

• Conclusion: How did your explorer’s journey and/or life come to an end? What is your explorer known for today? 

.

• A symbolic border

When completed the one pager will be carefully colored and the entire page will be filled. Be purposeful in your choice of images, placement, and color.           

Please put your name on the back.
