Thinking Concepts (Seixas). The lesson sequence will be on Exploration and Encounters with a
focus on early European exploration in Southern America. Teachers should adapt the materials
of the toolkit to best suit the needs of their own students. All lessons are modeled on the basis of
75 minute class periods.
