Sagamore Middle School Library

Introduction
Explorers have always been adventurous people. Their motivations vary from the desire for wealth and fame to a quest for knowledge. Some expeditions are more successful and others more dangerous, but all are interesting! Historians even question some explorer's real contribution to the future.

Your class has been invited to create a quick reference guide, Exploring Explorers, to be an addition to the school library. You will be creating a brochure on your special explorer.

Use the sites below and the books in the library to help YOUR exploration!
