Five Facts

Worksheet Description

The Columbus Day worksheet provides a creative space for students to explore and record important facts about Christopher Columbus. The top of the worksheet is dedicated for the student to write their name, personalizing their work. The central instruction is clear: write or draw five facts about Christopher Columbus, encouraging students to either express their knowledge through words or visually represent what they’ve learned about this historical figure.

This worksheet is divided into five blank squares, with a central, stylized drawing of a ship resembling those used by Columbus during his voyages. This design allows for flexibility in how students can present their facts—either by writing within the squares or by creating illustrations that depict their understanding of Columbus and his journeys. Such activities are essential for integrating arts into the curriculum, catering to different learning styles, and making history more engaging. It’s an excellent tool for teachers to assess students’ grasp of history in a way that fosters creativity and can serve as a springboard for further discussions about the impact of Columbus’s discovery of the Americas.
