8th Grade Explorers of the New World Projects

The 8th Grade Social Studies class studied the early explorers who came to America from various other countries. Their web projects reflect the research they conducted into the personal background, goals, ships and supplies, route, hardships encountered, time frame and results.

Using AppleWorks, students designed and constructed their web pages. In doing this, students reviewed basic HTML commands they learned as 7th graders. These web sites feature the results of the research and at least one graphic of the explorer. Students worked in pairs, sharing the research and web page responsibilities.
