PRESENTATION OUTLINE

First Lady of the Ocean

An explorer is a person who travels to other places in search of something such as land, fortune, or honor.

The first thing we had to do as a class was read about four well known explorers and find similarities between what they did. As a class we then looked at definitions of words and what parts they had in common. Then on our own, we were given time to research explorers that stood out to us. I had to figure out why my explorer did what she did to complete my defenition.

KRYSTYNA CHOJNOWSKA-LISKIEWICZ

  • What did she do?
  • Why did she do it?
  • Why did I chose her?
1. Krystyna was the first women to sail around the world single handed or alone! She set sail on February 28, 1976. Her ship was built in Poland by her husband. On her journey she she went straight through the Caribbean and the Panama dCanal. From there, Chojnowska-Liskiewicz went to India and down and around Africa! She returned to the Canary Islands on April 21, 1978, having traveled 31,166 miles in 401 days!
2. Krystyna chojnowska-liskiewicz set out to prove that women can handle on their own. She also wanted to test her skill and endurance.
3. I picked this amazing women because she is a role model, even though I don't actually want to sail around the world, her jurney has depth and lots of meaning.

definition?

Krystyna is a very good example of my definition. she set sail in search of being named the first women to sail single handed around the world.
It was also a test of skill and endurance. She traveled to a new place in search of honer

IMPLACATIONS

  • Why is studying explorers inportant?
  • How is going into middle school like being an explorer?
1. Well, studying explorers is very Inpotant.
It's good to learn about explorers and understand a little more about our country and founders. Also we may learn lessons like if your greedy and cruel, there will be consequences, or its good to be kind and give mercy. The way I've done this is, when My friends no I get in fights we always make up. We never hold grudges, and we are always kind to each other.

2. Going into middle school has a lot of simalerities to being an explorer. Such as, Ponce de Leon showed us, being trustworthy means people will respect you and give you opportunities. Also going into middle school, you have to be brave and explore new things. You will learn many lessons.

REFLECTION

  • What did I learn about myself by doing this project?
  • What would I do differently next time?
Doing this project I learned that you don't need to stress to much about these things. Everything will be fine in the end. I also learned that I enjoy this kind of thing. It's fun to learn about people and expeditions that they have gone on.


Well first of all, next time going into this kind of project, I will try not to stress over it so much and dive in with a "ready to work" mind! I will spread my self out and work as hard as I possibly can!
