Five+Brave+Explorers+Reinforcing+Activity


 * Essential Questions for students to think and write about while reading: **

 Which explorer do you admire the most? Why?

 What personal characteristics did the explorers in the book share?

 Which explorer do you feel you are most alike? Why?

 Have students plan their own expedition and write journal entries about their trip. Students will have to choose a starting and ending point for the exploration, determine the obstacles that might arise, decide on ways of overcoming the obstacles, and tell whether or not their voyage was successful

 After students have finished writing their expeditions, they will have a “show-and-tell” in which they will read their journal entries aloud. When every student has had a chance to share, students will nominate and then vote on the best exploration.
