Wall of Fame or Wall of Shame Persuasive Project (Early European Explorers)

Students should research the history and events involving early European exploration of the New World. Once the research or teaching unit is complete, the students can choose one of the explorers they were learning about to showcase in a persuasive activity. They will argue whether or not that explorer belongs on the Wall of Fame or the Wall of Shame from the explorer's perspective. Add whatever criteria/requirements you desire.
