On the back of this sheet of paper or on notebook paper, list the important events that took place during the time this explorer explored. Include the dates where possible, and try to list them in order. (This will help you when you create your timeline.) Keep in mind that you will be writing a journal, therefore you will want to keep track of what the explorer saw, problems he encountered, people he came in contact with, his relationship with his crew, etc.
