I used this as a culminating research project for my 5th graders in our explorations unit and was well pleased. They enjoyed it and it challenged them.

This product is too costly for one page. I was disappointed.

I had all of my resources (websites for the kids to research on) on a website at a previous school I taught at. Unfortunately, when I left, so did the site before I was able to transfer everything. Many public libraries as well as schools will bundle up all related books for you to check out to provide to your class during the project as well - make sure to check with them!
Many people have trouble with spelling sometimes. :) It must have been an oversight in my editing process. Would you mind letting me know where the typos are and I will fix them? Thanks and I hope you enjoy the project!

Thank you! It's so much easier for the kids to understand what we're doing when it's in "kid-friendly" language - glad you enjoy it and I hope it works well in your classroom!

A little disappointed that I paid for this.

My apologies for your disappointment. Again, if you would like me to send you a .doc file of this, please let me know and I will send it out right away.

I purchased this at the same time I purchased the reading statements. Same problem...a lot of the words are cut off at the edges.
August 13, 2012
Katie Stropich (TpT Seller)
Again, my apologies. Please let me know if you'd like me to email you the original file - not guaranteeing the font, but it should help with the cutting off the top issue. So sorry for the inconvenience.

Several of the slides had the top part of the letters cut off?? Otherwise it would have been a very useful product.
August 13, 2012
Katie Stropich (TpT Seller)
I am sorry, I apologize for the design flaw. I can certainly email you the .doc file if you'd prefer, but I am not sure the font would transfer over. Please let me know if you would rather that! Again, sorry for the inconvenience!

libros1 re: Explorer's Notebook - Information Pack for Students
Hi,
Could this assignment be adapted to a home-schooled student, or is it absolutely necessary to have a group? I really like your idea, and I would like to use it!

I think the Explorer Project could absolutely be adapted for the home school setting. It would definitely take a while longer to do if you had only one child working on the project, but they would be able to do quite a bit of in-depth research. I'm not sure how old your student is, but it would be a great tie in to have with a biography research and writing assignment too (got to love all of the cross-curricular bonuses!).
The only thing that you wouldn't be able to experience in the project is the presentation portion. I had my students in groups of about four and at the end they got to dress themselves as genuine explorers and present their exploration to the "Queen" (myself). I also had my class take notes on the different explorers and we had a small quiz afterwards. Depending on how many children you have working on this, you could possibly have them each do a different explorer to expand their knowledge base too.
I hope that information helps. It really is a fun project and my class has thoroughly enjoyed it each time it's been done. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Most recently I have taught 5th grade for the past three years in all subject areas, focusing on language arts for the past two. I have previously taught 6th grade math, 3rd grade, 1st grade, and summer school for a variety of grade levels.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I try to reach all of my students on an individual level - they can all be successful, just meet them where they are and go from there! Also, you have to have a great sense of humor - otherwise, why bother? :)

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I am currently living and teaching in the central Wisconsin area. I live with my husband and two cats, Mac and Cheese.
