Steps:
Draw a caricature (cartoon/picture) of your explorer-this should not just be a stick figure!
Your caricature should represent characteristics of the time period (ex. Their clothing, weapons, etc. should be accurate to the time period)
On the drawing, include all 5 senses through pictures and labeling:
What are they touching?
What are they seeing?
What are they saying?
What are they smelling?
What are they hearing?
On the back of your paper, write a short paragraph (3-5 sentences) explaining why your explorer is important. Use relevant historical details!
