In the 7th grade curriculum, the standards dictate that teachers discuss the European Age of Exploration and the feats of Chinese explorers like Zheng He. The overarching themes that connect both of these standards are the motives for exploration, the challenges of exploration, and the consequences of exploration. One good site on Chinese explorers with emphasis on Zheng He can be found at:
