Darwins Voyage

1. Trace Darwin's voyage by reading the excerpts. You will

find that the journal excerpts are not in chronological
order. The Voyage of the Beagle is a collection of many of
Darwin's journals, and he arranged the entries in this
book by geographical area rather than by time. On the
back of your map, make a list of the longitude and
latitude listings in the correct time sequence.
Number them and then place these numbers in the
place on the map that corresponds to their
longitude and latitude readings. Label each location
on the map with the date he visited.
2. When you are finished, connect the excerpt locations with
a line. Start in England in 1831 and follow Darwin's route
until he arrived back in England in 1836. Remember
portaging!
3. When you are finished with your map, you should
illustrate it. Draw small pictures to represent the
observations Darwin made as he explored places along his
route. If you don't have room on your map, you may want
to draw the illustrations on the back next to their
corresponding location.
4. For extra credit, add other places mentioned in Darwin's
journal excerpts and letters to make a more accurate
path.
