Address the following in your glogster:


 * Where was the explorer from originally (homeland)?
 * For what country did he explore?
 * Where did he explore?
 * How did his exploration help his country?
 * What effects did his discovery have on the area that he explored or discovered (native population, etc)?
 * What year(s) did he explore?
 * How long was his voyage? If more than one, how long did each voyage last?

Glogster:
 * Using the above information, you will create a Glogster that creatively displays the information.
 * DO NOT "ONLY" use a bunch of text! Use pictures, graphics and images
 * Glogster should be interesting, colorful, organized, and informative.
