Teacher s Note: Obviously these routes are approximate and done to the best of my ability with a mouse & cursor. I like to have my students use color families for the countries & explorers like I used here. However, you can also use dash/dot patterns to help better distinguish the routes. Sometimes it also helps to write the explorer s name along the route if enough colors are not available.

Cut out the graphic organizer below and glue into your notebook. Under each flap, draw a picture of the invention and then describe what it did. In the center, explain how all of these helped European exploration. Bonus: you can also turn your completed folded triangle into a lateen sail by drawing a ship below it! Glue down here and fold each side of the triangle so the words are visible.

Underneath each flap, write characteristics that only to China, only to Japan and then some that apply to both.
