This lesson begins with students completing a series of 30 statements by filling in missing words, names, and terms. Each statement describes a significant event during the Age of Exploration. One or more letters in each answer are given as clues. You can decide whether to have the class complete this section as a contest, game, or an activity for individuals.

Next, students will sharpen their critical thinking skills while answering a Thought Question. Of the 30 events in the preceding list, class members must decide which 3 they think were of greatest historical importance and give a reason for their choice. Answers can be discussed afterwards. 

Fifteen key events during the Age of Exploration are labeled on a Timeline to complete the lesson. All fifteen events are provided but are missing a date and a place or name that must be identified before being added to the Timeline.

Easy-to-follow Teacher Instructions and answer key included, along with a 20-question follow up quiz to measure student progress. The quiz can also be given as a homework assignment.
