Conclusion

Now that you've learned all about Columbus, Ponce de Leon, Cartier, and Newport, you can really appreciate what they contributed to our world. People have been exploring new lands since prehistoric times, and these four men were among the most famous explorers.

By reading about all four explorers from the links in the WebQuest and the PowerPoint presentation, you were able to see which explorer interested you the most, and then you were able to construct a message in a bottle to the explorer of your choice.

Congratulations! You have now become a part of an exciting exploration that is responsible for our world as we know it. You should be proud of yourselves!
