World History (3/4)Since the dawn of the space age, only

547 humans have traveled above the Earth’s atmosphere and into space. Throughout five decades of human spaceflight, the national space agencies in the United States, Russia, and China have inspired the world. But because government space agencies are not asked to help ordinary citizens to become astronauts, most of our planet’s seven billion people have had no opportunity to experience space and all of its possibilities for themselves, regardless of their passion or talents.

Virgin Galactic is changing that. Our purpose is to become the spaceline for Earth; democratizing access to space for the benefit of life on Earth.

Do Now: Virgin Galactic is offering you a free trip to space. Do you take it? Why or why not?

1415-1750: Europeans look to explore the globe Why would they want

to explore? What did they hope

to find? Think back to our last

two units and make a list of possible goods/resources that Europeans might want

How do I get to the mall from here? Draw a map that shows

me the safest, fastest way to get to Mayfair Mall

What needs to be included for me to find my way without getting lost or hurt?

Cartographer- mapmaker

Why are accurate maps so important?

How are these two objects similar?

How might these technologies aid exploration?

See the chart on page 373 Record what it was and

its importance to exploration

Magnetic compass Astrolabe Mercator projection Sextant

How are all these technologies linked together?

Map it out Use the classroom

maps and the map on page 376 to complete the first TWO sections of the age of exploration map

Again, complete only the first TWO sections

World History (3/6) Do Now: The year is 1519.

You have agreed to go on a two year voyage of exploration, but don’t know the destination. What stuff do you need to take with you?

Make a list of the materials (and quantities) you will need to take with you

Why are these items necessary?

The race is on… Competition for

control of the seas heats up Spain vs. Portugal Other

contenders? Which team do

you do you support?

Spain, Portugal, or someone else?

Which side do you support? Read through your pack of biographical information Record the key powerful figure(s)-What makes them powerful? How are they

going to make your country dominant? Key detail-something from the reading the “team” needs to

know/understand Areas of exploration-shade these in and explain why they are so important

to your country (hint: resources) Slogan-Come up with a classroom appropriate slogan and a picture for your

“team” Example: Avoid the pain…don’t mess with Spain!

Approach to your rival-Choose one of the following and explain WHY you are making this choice: Direct confrontation-the seas belong to us! Compromise-maybe we can work something out… Hands off-No threat to our team…they’re weak!

World History (3/10) Do Now: What

does the video suggest about Magellan’s personality?

What does the video suggest about Magellan’s voyage?

Team highlights Team Portugal-forefront of exploration

Vasco de Gama-direct trade route to India Bartolomeu Dias- made it around the tip of Africa (Cape of Good

Hope) Team Spain-Portugal’s key rival

Columbus-after rejected by Portugal, furthers Spain’s exploration (the Americas)

Magellan-circumnavigates the globe for Spain (again, after Portugal sends him packing)

Balboa-first to spot Pacific Ocean Team England

Henry Hudson-searching for the Northwest Passage; finds the Hudson River

John Cabot-explores part of North America Team France

Jacques Cartier-searching for Northwest Passage; claims Canada for France

Rank the teams look back at the stats of

each team This means look at the

team/explorer profiles How would you rank each

team (strongest/weakest)? Why do they deserve this ranking? Remember-this is team,

not EXPLORER ranking On what should we base

our rankings?

World History (3/11) Do Now: Fact or fiction? Read/record the

following information about Christopher Columbus and his famous voyage in your notes.

Mark each piece of information as FACT or FICTION and provide a brief reason why you feel this way.

Columbus: Fact or fiction? 1. Columbus set out to prove

the earth was round. 2. Columbus was the first

European to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

3. Three countries refused to provide financing for Columbus’ voyage.

4. Columbus was imprisoned by the king of Spain for his treatment of colonists.

5. A lunar eclipse saved Columbus’ life.

Fact or fiction revealed Record the correct answers in your notes 1. Columbus set out to prove the earth was

round. Fiction: The Greeks (Pythagoras and Aristotle)

had already suggested and observed this. Most educated people knew this by 1492.

2. Columbus was the first European to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

Fiction: Leif Erickson (a Norseman=viking) landed in present-day Newfoundland in about 1000 CE.

Fact or fiction revealed 3. Three countries refused to provide financing for Columbus’ voyage. Fact: Portugal, England, and France all turned him down because they

believed his calculations for the voyage were inaccurate. 4. Columbus was imprisoned by the king of Spain for his treatment of

colonists. Fact: Columbus turned out to be a brutal governor. He cut off the hands

of natives who did not bring in enough gold and executed Spanish colonists who rebelled. Although he was arrested, Columbus was freed from prison AND given financial support for a fourth voyage.

5. A lunar eclipse saved Columbus’ life. Fact: In 1504 Columbus was stranded in Jamaica, abandoned by much of

his crew and denied food by angry islanders. Knowing an eclipse was coming, Columbus told the islanders that their god was angry with them for denying him food and the moon would “rise inflamed with wrath” as a sign of this anger. The islanders were terrified when this prediction came true and offered him assistance.

What does this painting suggest about Columbus and the reason(s) for his voyage?

God, gold, and glory Columbus’ voyage becomes

the template for Spanish colonization around the world

God- bring religion to heathen people

Gold- bring wealth to the Spanish treasury

Glory- bring fame, power, and personal fortune to those who take part in these voyages Conquistadores-conquerors

(Cortes and others who go after Aztecs, Mayas, etc.)

Diary (or journal) of… What is a diary? What purpose

does it serve? What can a diary

tell us that other sources cannot?

Columbus’ diary What does each journal

excerpt reveal about the New World?

What does each journal excerpt reveal about Columbus? How he views the New World?

How might Columbus’ views/actions affect the New World, its people and its resources (inference)?

Whose territory is it? Spain and Portugal are in

disagreement over the islands explored by Columbus

Who should be included in this decision? Why?

Ultimately, where should the boundary line be drawn? Why?

Where was the line of demarcation drawn? What was the name of this line?

How might this line impact future exploration?

World History (3/16) Do Now: Study the

graphic on the next screen.

Where is the treaty line drawn? Add this to your map (see last Thursday’s handout)

What are two possible consequences of this treaty? (again, see last Thursday’s handout)

Treaty of Tordesillas (1494)

What do you notice now?

Exploration leads to trade Imagine that you

are going to take a journey of exploration. What items would

you take to trade? What items would

you hope to trade for?

Trade machine: Rounds 1&2 Follow the directions

listed on the handout You have two minutes

to listen to offers or make deal(s) You do NOT need to

trade your item Complete the

questions/reflections after each round

World History (3/17) Do Now: Complete

the graphic analysis on the Columbian Exchange

Focus on the unintended consequences of the exchange

Be sure to write in complete sentences

The Columbian Exchange

Didn’t mean for it to happen…

Some elements of the trade process had unknown or unintended consequences

Example: the earthworm Ships added barrels of dirt as

ballast (balance the load) Emptied out dirt and added

cargo Worms from dirt get into New

World soil Consume the litter from the

forest floor This affects many native

plants/grasses/trees What other consequences from

our activity (other two symbols)?

A different set of consequences… The Spanish (and other

Europeans who follow) are able to control the land due to: Guns-superior weaponry Germs-natives had no

natural immunity to European diseases Smallpox killed hundreds of

thousands Started in 1520 with ONE

infected person Steel-armor, swords, and

other technology that performed better than native technology

Bartolome de las Casas His father and uncle were a part of Columbus’

second voyage to the New World His family had large land holdings on Hispaniola

Part of the encomienda system-land granted by the king; allowed to enslave any natives living on it

Land + free labor= wealth Bartolome was studying to be a priest

Sees the treatment of native peoples and is horrified Considered it a mortal sin and rejected his part of his

family’s land holdings Writes A Short Account of the Destruction of the

Indies to draw attention to the problem

What did he have to say? Read the excerpts from de las

Casa’s account How does he describe the Spanish

interactions with the native peoples?

Are these accounts focused more on God, Gold, or glory? What details from the reading

support this? Do you feel like these accounts are

exaggerated? Why or why not? What effects might this account

have on the king? Others who read it? Hint: How would they feel about

Spain and her colonists?

Evan Spiegel Age 24 Founder of Snapchat The company, which

was valued at $10 billion in 2014, was reported in February to have received offers to nearly double that valuation to $19 billion.

Net worth=$1.5 billion

Tom Persson Heir to retail giant H&M Net worth=$3 billion Europe's youngest billionaire, Tom

Persson (30), is the third generation in the H&M-clan, which has five members on the billionaires list. Born in 1985, he just graduated from Met Film School in London, and has moved back to Stockholm to start smaller movie production . His grandfather, Erling Persson, founded H&M in 1947, and the company has since grown to a global retail power house with more than 3500 stores in 53 countries.

Elizabeth Holmes Age=31 Net worth=$4.5 billion She dropped out her sophomore year of

Stanford University to found Palo Alto, Calif.-based blood testing company Theranos in 2003 with money she saved for college. With a painless prick, her labs can quickly test a drop of blood at a fraction of the price of commercial labs which need more than one vial. Theranos has raised $400 million from venture capitalists, valuing the company at $9 billion, and Holmes' 50% stake at $4.5 billion. She has assembled a stellar board that includes elder statesmen George Shultz and Henry Kissinger.

In 2013, Walgreens, the largest U.S. retail pharmacy chain, with more than 8,100 stores, announced plans to roll out Theranos Wellness Centers inside its pharmacies.

Common links? Capital-wealth in the form

of money or other assets How did they make their

money? Some form of joint venture

The age of exploration pioneered the joint stock company-investors who pool capital and share rewards

Safer investment-not one person shares the entire risk or reward

How can we connect this back to the Spanish and de las Casas?

Impact of de las Casas Supported the Black

Legend-the idea that Spain was horrible and cruel

Made Spain a target for criticism from other European nations

Got the church to take notice of Spain’s activities in the New World

And what about changes in slave labor?
