Age of Exploration - Webquest




Using the resources below, collect information to complete the research guide that you have received in class. When all research has been completed, write responses to the questions at the end of the research guide. You may also access print materials in the room (texts, encyclopediae, books) to supplement these online sources.

Stay on the webquest ... you do not have time to wander all over the internet. These are famous and important people and there are more materials on them than you will have time to sort through!
