European colonization of the Americas

View European colonization of the Americas in a larger map

For my idea for a lesson that would incorporate the use of a map, I created a map using Google Maps for my K-12 class of History. My map is about European colonization of the Americas. This map describes the routes followed by European colonists and some relevant facts of that history period. This a lesson in form of an interactive lecture in which I’ll explain to the learners different history facts about the European Colonization  of the Americas, people and places involved and the relevance  of this history period to the world today. 

The students will be able to see the different routs taken by the expeditionist , the first places discovered and the time period. The learners can make question and interact with the teacher while they are listening to the interactive lecture.
