Monday's Social Studies Test

Parents and Students-

    On Monday we will be taking a short Social Studies test to assess our knowledge of Explorers and the beginning of Western Exploration.  We reviewed the concepts today in class by playing Jeopardy and discussing what the test would look like.

Students will have the choice to answer two out of the following three questions:

1.  Why did Exploration begin?
2.  Name one explorer, tell his/her story including why they were exploring, what was discovered and why it's important.
3.  Why/How do cultures change?

I'm looking for a basic understanding with reference to things we've read and studied in class in a paragraph.
Good luck!  Students will be encouraged to bring their books and their explorer notes home this weekend to study.
