Students take this quiz to assess their knowledge of explorers and early settlers to the Americas. It includes questions about goals of explorers and how they treated the natives as well as a matching of explorers to journeys. It also has a back side devoted to reasons for settlers moving to America, and questions about Junipero Serra, Jamestown, and the Pilgrims. This could also be used as a study guide.

I have been teaching grades 7 and 8 Language Arts and Social Studies at De Anza Academy of Technology & the Arts in Ventura, California since 2001. I have also briefly taught high school ESL (grades 9-12), and I spent one month teaching English in Moscow, Russia.
