Age of Exploration

We will finish out this week by beginning our study on the Age of Exploration.  We will see how Europe has fully emerged from the Middle Ages, embraced the Renaissance and with that began to explore the world around them.  We will follow each European country's route to North and South America and try to understand why they came over here to begin with.  

 This unit will not have a Prezi, but the Google Slide is linked under the "Assignments" tab.  Several other assignments are linked, but will be given to you on paper to draw, map and better understand what we are talking about.  I hope to also utilize some of the tools that I learned yesterday...so we will see!!
