Block 6 - November 18, 2k21

Block 6, I am not feeling well and went home early.  I would sincerely appreciate if you would do the following in class today.  Please answer the following Pre-Q's (below) on a separate sheet of lined paper and staple it to your Guided Notes sheet (you're receiving it today)

  1. What do you think motivates the United States to explore space today?
  2. Should the United States spend more or less money on space exploration? Why?
  3. What do you think are the biggest differences between exploring and colonizing?
  4. Why is “land ownership” a controversial concept/idea?
  5. How has exploration both positively and negatively affected the world throughout history?
  6. What are some pros and cons of land/ocean/space exploration?

Watch the following flick on How the Sailors Navigate before you begin the assignment below...

 Begin Reading ME! --> Age of Xploration Document -- Please answer the front page of the Guided Notes from the reading.  We will discuss tomorrow. :) 

When finished with the Pre-Q's, read through the Age of Xploration Doc and complete the first page of the Guided Notes.  Ask the teacher for the Guided Notes, which are in a pile on my desk.  Thank you for working diligently and I will see you on Friday.  Be good!
