We are working on a paired project.

Students will complete this project at school.

The students will be an agent for the Queen, are are going to make a journey to the New World on behalf of our kingdom.  Their mission is to claim land for the monarchy, locate a new trading route across the ocean, look for the Northwest Passage, and bring back gold, silver, metals, spices, new plants, and any items deemed valuable.  They are provided with a crew and all the necessary provisions for an extensive journey the New World.  Certain precise requirements must be met if you expect t be rewarded for your achievements.

To have a successful trip they must complete the following items:
