1. Here is a reminder about the task you are responsible for: * Create 3 or 4 models of items the explorers used, created, or discovered on their journey.
 * Your models may be made of clay, wood, metal, paper, or other suitable material. (Or a combination of materials.)
 * The models do not have to be "actual size." Use your judgement about what size is appropriate to best represent the item.
 * Whenever possible, paint or color your model as appropriate.
 * In your presentation, you should be prepared to talk about the objects and why they were important. Write some notes on index cards to help you prepare. ||

3. Now begin your research! You will need to take notes as you navigate on the world wide web! Later, you will use these notes to create sketches and models of the items you choose, along with detailed descriptions, as if you were a member of the Corps of Discovery!
