Exploration Narratives

Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca

Garcia Lopez de Cardenas

Think of a time when you explored something. This can be a new place, a new school, a new store, a purse, a subject, anything that you explored. What did you explore? Where were you? What was the purpose of your exploration? Did you learn anything new? What are some of the details of your exploration?

A narrative can encompass any type of exploration!
