EID Assignment Research Internet Tips

Y5 History Research Directions

1. Go to Internet Site: http://library.thinkquest.org/J002678F/welcome.htm
2. Click on first route – it will turn the colour red
3. Scroll down to the map in bottom right hand corner (Lists France, Spain, England and Portugal)
4. Click on the country for which your explorer sailed for (came from); for example, explorer La Salle, country, France
5. Click on the Name of your explorer
6. This takes you to a summary page of dates of birth, death, Major Accomplishment, Early Life, Information about his voyages and Maps of the places he discovered.
7. Go to Google, type in your explorer’s name. You can find plenty more sites to find information about your explorer.
8. You can use Wikipedia, but I would prefer you use more academic websites for research.

Remember you are not copying and pasting. I will show you how to document resources this week.

As well, be sure to include a map of all the voyages your explorer made on your Poster Board presentation.

You have plenty of time so I am expecting sensational projects!

You are very welcome. That is lots of really great stuff on the Internet and lots of poor sites. We will be using it a fair amount I think this year.
