It Is Essential For Students To Know

Students should identify on a map the land and sea routes of the explorers who came to South Carolina, including De Soto, Ribault, Pardo, Woodward and Hilton (3-2.2). The map should illustrate the routes the explorers followed coming to South Carolina and the routes they followed within South Carolina.
Students should use their knowledge of the physical features of the six geographic regions of South Carolina (3-1.3) as they compare the areas explored by the various explorers within South Carolina.

It Is Not Essential For Students To Know

Students do not need to know specific details about the lives of individual explorers and where they went after leaving South Carolina.
