Blind Passage

As our Preview for Chapter 2: European Exploration and Settlement, students participated in an activity called Blind Passage. In this activity, students were challenged to walk through a field of obstacles, blindfolded, in order to earn extra credit for their team.

After the activity, we compared what the students experienced with what early European explorers went through while searching for new trade routes and new land. We discussed their goals, challenges, the risks, and the rewards,

Here are some pictures:
