The content and skills presented in this unit are the targets of most state frameworks for American history, map reading, and language arts. EXPLORERS provides many opportunities for performance assessment. In the first part of the simulation students demonstrate their understanding of the Native American civilization that existed before the arrival of European explorers. In the second part, students learn the reasons why the explorers came to the New World. They research individual explorers to learn which lands and resources they claimed for their European monarchs. In the final activity, students participate in reenactments of the encounters between Native Americans and explorers. Applied Learning Standards are addressed throughout.
