The 3 Gs of Exploration

We have been discussing explorers in our Social Studies unit. Yesterday we discussed that many explorers set off on their adventures motivated by either Gold, God, or Glory. Think about those reasons. Name a fourth reason why explorers may have been motivated to find new lands and explore the unknown.

  3. Connor Ellertson is posting his idea for the Exploration project:

    I am going to write about an explorer who plans to travel around the world in 50 days. I will begin my travels in Denver, Colorado. I plan to stop in each and every continent.
