Students can use these explorer cards as notes in their interactive journals or to quiz each other before an assessment. Just fold along the dotted line and use some glue in between the two sides. Notes include a picture of the explorer, image of the explorer's route, motive for exploring, contributions, and other notes. This is a Word file, so you can edit information.

Explorers Covered: Columbus, Magellan, Vespucci, and de Soto. A blank template for a trading card is also included in case you'd like to add other explorers.
