1) Name of your explorer.
2) Your name, class and date.
3) A sketch of your explorer involved in an activity during his/her exploration. To help you decide what to sketch, you can look at images in the library books or on the Internet.
4) A brief biography of your explorer. (You may divide your biography into smaller parts to arrange on your poster, and place appropriate decorations or borders around your text - i.e. explorers' tools, etc.).
5) A map of Canada tracing the route(s) of your explorer's journey(s) - use different colours to trace the different routes, and in your legend include the dates of those voyages. You can print out a black-line map of Canada from National Geographic. Select Canada from the list on top of the map, and if you need to focus in on a specific area of Canada then click on it with the mouse. Once you see the map that you want, then select GIF from below the map box, and a new window will open with your map in it. Print the map out, and draw in your explorer's journeys.
6) Summary statement of your explorer's contributions to Canada.
7) A bibliography showing all the resources that you used.
8) Before you make your poster, please see this diagram of making a poster.
