Travelers and Explorers Documentary Films by Alicia Morris

7th grade World History students collaborate to create a documentary about an explorer, from Leif Eriksson (c. 970 – c. 1020) to James Cook (1728 – 1799). There are 10 travelers and explorers studied this year, including the disease the Black Death. Students then peer review their documentaries. This year sixteen 7th graders are beta testing WeMovie to make their films alongside other students using MovieMaker during this process.
