The first part of the assignment was to write a timeline of key events in the explorer's life. Kai is still not much for writing, but with the help of Wikipedia, he did his research and created a basic timeline.
The next part of the assignment was to draw a map to show the places that the explorer went to and the direction of his voyage. This part Kai eagerly worked on, as he loves to draw.
The other parts of the assignment are to create a treasure chest, fill it with artifacts that the explorer may have found, and to write a one paragraph journal entry that the explorer may have written about his adventure. That last one will be the most challenging of all. I think we'll have him work on with his tutor.
What a fun assignment! He did a great job on that map!
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I'd call it a "fun" assignment, but he did enjoy working on the map. :)
DeleteI remember those times in my life so long ago. The drawing of a map is very helpful in helping a child to consolidate his knowledge.
ReplyDeleteKai hates to write but loves to draw. When he takes notes, he much prefers to draw than write and I do think it does help him to remember things.
