What ELSE can I do on my project to make it interesting?


 * Create a **Timeline** on one of your Explorer's journeys using **Timeliner 5.0**

 * Create a quiz using **Survey Gizmo**
 * Create a slideshow (use the SLIDE website) of the maps your explorer might have used?
 * Write a descriptive paragraph on when your explorer reached a place for the first time. Using **Storybook Weaver** or **Word 2007**
 * Write a diary/journal on the hardest part of your explorer's journey.
