Sea Travel Plan
I like stories of sea travels when I was young. These stories are full of excitement and attract me greatly. Explorers like Columbus and Zheng He are my favorite heroes. Their courage inspires me to try something new all the time.
But I still feel puzzled about their real records during the journey. How could they tell directions? How did they overcome the difficulties they met? What was the exact number of people who died in the journey? These questions make me curious and eager to know the real facts about them.
I have made a reasonable plan to do my project. I will list the great explorers I want to know and then I will make a chart according to time order. Following the order I will check the information about them through the Internet and do library research.
Activity two: Find solutions
T: I will call one student to present your problem analysis and solutions.
Sa: I think over-fishing is a big problem. Though many people believe most of the countries in the world should obey the international law of fishing and some countries have special regulations that forbid fishing some kinds of sea animals. However, this is not effective. I think this problem can be solved only through heavy punishment.
