Henry Hudson is a very important explorer because he helped establish ocean and land trading passages that helped to improve trading routes, also helped to expand knowledge of the Pacific Ocean during his exploration.
Action Plan:
Week 1: Research more about leader, find out the main things he has done
Week 2: Create blogs and post visuals of my research , things my explorer has discovered, created, or started
Week 3: Continue to record process, data, and information I found about my chosen leader
Week 4: Touch up and finish project, update blogs and visuals, and finish putting project/webpage together

Week 1:
This week I've started working on my visual project. One thing I did was create an exploring area for my Explorer. He mostly traveled in the ocean and land passage ways. I started to work on the ocean, rivers, and land where Henry Hudson has visited or discovered. I created small areas of land with plants, and ocean passage ways in between showing where my explorer traveled to and from

For the first week I had a hard time working on Minecraft because it was my first time. Getting used to the controls on Minecraft were hard but it slowly got easier. Even if it was difficult at first it was fun to try something new and to learn more about technology. Learning how to use Minecraft and the many different ways you can create things was super fun. Some of my classmates have helped me on the way, to improve my knowledge about Minecraft. I think creativity takes a big part in this project, and I have been coming up with ideas to help improve my project. Even with the challenges of working and getting used to this technology, I have learned so much from this one week of using Minecraft.

Week 2:
This week I have been making a lot of progress. I've been finishing up the rivers, ocean, and trees. I have started on my explorers boat. This week has been a lot about making more progress and creating a lot more things that my explorer has discovered or owned. My main focus was to built my explorers boat which he used to explorer all over the world.
One challenge I had this week was creating a good amount of ocean and land area to equal it out. Another challenge I had this week was creating a boat. This was hard because I really needed to be creative and artistic with using blocks. I had no idea how to create a boat, so I experimented with different woods and blocks to build a boat. I eventually came about the type of blocks I wanted to use and started to build Henry Hudson's boat. I also got help from a couple of my classmates to help me build the boat because of how big I needed it to be, and the type of boat I decided on creating. Even with all of these challenges I am making progress and continuing to build my explorers world. |
