Discover Exploration

Discover exploration. Remember when you were in elementary school and learned about famous explorers like Christopher Columbus?  Did you ever think that you too could be an explorer and experience your own discoveries? Discoveries about the world around you or about yourself?  If you would like to explore this further, you might want to read a fun book entitled, How To Be An Explorer of the World, by Keri Smith. Smith spearheads a mission to explore your own world. She states that, "Everything is interesting." She includes thirteen examples of how to be an explorer. One of her tasks is an Archaeological Dig where you use a collection of objects that relate to your childhood. She has you write a brief story about each one. She even suggests recreating your childhood bedroom in
miniature. Author Wally Lamb states, "The seeker embarks on a journey to find what he wants and
discovers, along the way, what he needs." Take time to become a seeker and discover exploration.

Challenge: Find five objects that represent your childhood. Write in your Discovery Journal a brief story about each one. Check out How To Be An Explorer of the World on Amazon.
