Each group will then take questions from the class.

Each group member will do the following in the written assessment notebook: Evaluation of Group Members - Map Making: -Please write 2 - 3 sentences explaining and evaluating the contributions of each group member, including yourself. Explain what each group member did and the value it added to the project. -Give each group member a minus, a checkmark or a plus sign indicating whether their efforts were not very helpful, helpful or extremely helpful.

These evaluations will be collated by the teacher and given back to each group member as feedback to enhance future group work.

-Begin with reflection questions:


 * Geography:**
 * How do maps stimulate the desire to find out more about an area?
 * How can finding out more about a location and its potential shape our aspirations?
 * History:**
 * What can people gain through exploration today?
 * What topics, subjects, countries, cultures and/or ideas are you most interested in knowing more about? In what ways is your desire to find out more linked to your aspirations in life?
 * In what ways did exploration change the world for the better? What were the negative consequences of people’s curiosity?
