To integrate our Explorers unit in social studies and our most recent writing unit on Memoirs, today in class students wrote memoirs for our explorers. But there was a catch... the memoirs could only be SIX words!! Here is what the students came up with:
"Discovered land, met Indians, made connections" by Hayden & Graham (Christopher Columbus)
"Born in Italy, sailed to America" by Bodey & Kyle (Christopher Columbus)
"Explored Hudson River, Hudson Bay, Dutch" by Nathan & Dmitriy (Henry Hudson)
"Eric the Red, son Lief Erikkson" by Mason & Devin (Eric the Red/Lief Eriksson)
"Discovered the strait, valley, river, bay" by Brandon & Matthew (Henry Hudson)
"Robert LaSalle sailed the Mississippi River" by Ben & Joe (Robert LaSalle)
"Claimed New York and also Canada" by Colby & Jaxson (Henry Hudson)
"Henry River, Hudson Bay, 13 Colonies" by Ethan & Trenton (Henry Hudson)
"An Indian attack killed Ferdinand Magellan" by Lucas & Nate (Ferdinand Magellan)
"Christopher Columbus went to the Bahamas" by Hunter & Edward (Christopher Columbus)
