Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy and worked with his father as a cloth maker before running away to join a ship. On his first voyage to find a western passage to Asia in 1492, Columbus captained the Santa Maria alongside the Nina and Pinta. The Santa Maria ran aground on Christmas, forcing Columbus and his crew to return to Spain on the Nina. Columbus made three subsequent voyages, establishing settlements in the Americas and dealing with rebellious natives and crew. He died in 1506 in Spain, never having set foot on what is now the continental United States.

Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who lived from 1451 to 1506. He wanted to find a new route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1492, he embarked on his first voyage, sailing west and eventually discovering several islands in the Caribbean including San Salvador and Cuba, believing he had reached Asia. Over subsequent voyages from 1493 to 1502, he explored more islands in the Caribbean and coastal regions of South and Central America, though he never realized he had discovered a new continent.
Exploration and Fur Trade of Western Canada
Captain James Cook was the first European explorer to set foot on what is now British Columbia. He explored the coast in 1778, meeting native peoples but missing key locations like Juan de Fuca Strait. He died in 1779 in Hawaii on his third voyage of exploration. Alexander Mackenzie worked for the North West Company and in 1793 became the first person to cross North America north of Mexico. In 1789 he explored the river that now bears his name, reaching the Arctic Ocean. In 1793 he reached the Pacific Ocean but was turned back by hostile natives. Simon Fraser worked for the Hudson's Bay Company and in 1811 was the first European to travel the entire length of the Columbia River.
Jacques cartier
Jacques Cartier was a French explorer born in 1491 in Saint Malo, France. He made three voyages to Canada and is best known for establishing Montreal and discovering the St. Lawrence River. On his first voyage in 1534, he sailed up the St. Lawrence River over 1,000 miles but failed to find a Northwest Passage. He established trade with local Indigenous people but faced hardship during winter when 25 of his men died of scurvy. Cartier kidnapped 12 Indigenous people including their chief and brought them back to France.

This document summarizes the four voyages of Christopher Columbus:
1) The first voyage departed from the Canary Islands in September 1492 and experienced difficulties including crew unrest and navigational challenges.
2) The second voyage departed from Cadiz in 1493 with the goal of exploring, colonizing, and spreading Catholicism to the territories discovered on the first voyage.
3) The third voyage departed from Sanlucar de Barrameda in 1498, making various stops in the Caribbean and along the coasts of present-day Venezuela and Trinidad.
4) The fourth and final voyage departed from Seville in 1502, exploring the coasts of Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa
Drake
This document provides information about Sir Francis Drake in 10 pages. It includes a biography noting he was born in 1540 in England and circumnavigated the globe from 1577-1580. It also has a timeline, descriptions of his ship the Golden Hind, sketches of Drake and his ship, maps of his route, and how he impacted England, Spain and global exploration. Learner profiles assess him as caring for England but not Spain, knowledgeable for gathering information, and balanced for his healthy lifestyle.
Jaques Cartier
Jacques Cartier, a French explorer born in 1491, led two expeditions in 1534-1536 where he discovered the Saint Lawrence River and explored the coast of Newfoundland and Canada, naming landmarks and establishing relations with local tribes. Though his crew faced hardships like lack of food, the explorations expanded geographical knowledge of the new lands. Cartier died in his homeland of St. Malo, France in 1557.
Columbus' voyages
Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer, sought funding from Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain for an expedition to reach Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. Columbus led three ships and 90 sailors on the voyage, landing in the Bahamas and believing he had reached Asia, naming the islands San Salvador. Upon his return to Spain, he led two more voyages to the Americas in 1493 and 1498, establishing settlements and exploring the Caribbean and South America. Though he never realized he had discovered a new continent, Columbus made four voyages of exploration that opened the door for European colonization of the Americas.
Who Really Discovered America?
While Christopher Columbus is often credited as the discoverer of America, there is evidence that others reached the Americas before him, including the Vikings, Japanese, and Irish monk Saint Brendan. The Vikings may have established a settlement in present-day Newfoundland or Nova Scotia as early as 1000 AD. Some pottery fragments found in Ecuador date to 5000 years ago and suggest the Japanese may have sailed across the Pacific. An Irish text describes a voyage by Saint Brendan in the 6th century that may have reached Newfoundland. Ultimately, the Native Americans who crossed the Bering Strait over 10,000 years ago were likely the first to discover America.

Dyon Explorer Report
Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy. He was fascinated by the ocean from a young age and taught himself Latin and Castilian. Columbus proposed voyages to reach Asia by sailing west, and convinced the Spanish monarchs to fund his expedition. In 1492, Columbus landed in the Bahamas, believing he had reached Asia, but had actually discovered the Americas. He made three further voyages to the new lands, establishing Spanish colonies. Columbus faced later criticism over his governance and treatment of native peoples. He died in 1506 in Valladolid, Spain from Reiter's Syndrome.
The story of Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy and dreamed as a boy of sailing the ocean as an explorer to discover new lands. As an adult, he asked the King and Queen of Spain to fund an expedition for him to find a western route to Asia, and they provided him three ships. Columbus and his crew set sail and after a long voyage spotted land, realizing it was not Asia but a new continent. Columbus named the first island he discovered San Salvador and met the native Taino people. When he returned to Spain, Columbus had fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a great explorer.

Christopher Columbus was born in Italy in 1451 and grew up in a merchant family. He became interested in sailing as a teenager and made many voyages to Africa and Asia, gaining knowledge of ocean currents and trade routes. In 1492, Columbus received funding from the Spanish monarchs to sail west in search of a route to Asia. On his first voyage, he landed in the Bahamas instead of Asia, believing he had reached India. He established a settlement and returned to Spain with goods and native captives. His voyages opened the Americas to European colonization but had disastrous effects on native populations through disease, violence and exploitation. Columbus died in 1506 still believing he had reached Asia.

The document provides details about the journey and founding of Plymouth colony by English separatists who became known as the Pilgrims. It describes their religious beliefs and desire for independence from the Church of England, as well as their voyage on the Mayflower which took 67 days and included 102 passengers. Upon arriving in what would become Plymouth, they signed the Mayflower Compact and established the settlement, but half of the colonists died during the first harsh winter due to illness and lack of supplies. Native Americans such as Squanto and Massasoit helped the survivors by teaching them local skills and the Pilgrims held the first Thanksgiving celebration.

The myth of columbus
Columbus' voyages were not as difficult as commonly portrayed. He had experienced crews and well-equipped ships. While he never reached North America, landing in the Caribbean instead, his voyages did connect Europe and the Americas, leading to immense changes including the near-extinction of the native Taino people from disease and violence within decades. Columbus profited from his discoveries but was an ineffective governor, though he lived comfortably in Spain until his death from disease.

This document provides a summary of Howard Zinn's book "A People's History of the United States" which examines American history through the lens of common people rather than political and economic elites. The summary focuses on Chapter 1 which describes Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas in 1492 and the devastating impact on the native Arawak people of the Caribbean islands through violence, slavery, and exposure to disease at the hands of the Spanish conquistadors seeking gold and wealth. It details how the native population declined from hundreds of thousands to just a few hundred within several decades of first contact with Europeans.

Christopher columbus
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492 hoping to find a western route to Asia, but instead discovered what became known as the Americas. On his first voyage, Columbus established a settlement called Villa de la Navidad on present-day Hispaniola before returning to Spain with captives from the indigenous population. While Columbus made three subsequent voyages, he never realized he had found a "New World" and died believing he had reached Asia. His voyages opened the way for European colonization and trade with the Americas but also brought devastation to the native peoples through violence, disease, and exploitation.
Spanish Conquest of Caribbean
Prior to the Spanish conquest of Mexico, Spain had established a significant presence in the Caribbean beginning with Christopher Columbus' voyages. Columbus encountered native populations on various Caribbean islands and questioned whether he could accurately communicate with them through signs due to linguistic barriers. After Columbus, the Spanish established permanent settlements like Cuba and launched further expeditions, like Hernán Cortés' conquest of Mexico from Cuba despite some opposition.

Christopher Columbus made four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain between 1492 and 1502. While seeking a direct route to Asia, he instead encountered the Americas. His journeys marked the beginning of centuries of European colonization in the Americas. However, Columbus and his men also subjected the native inhabitants to violence and brutality, enslaving many and imposing forced labor policies. Today, Columbus remains a controversial figure who is both celebrated for initiating the Columbian Exchange and criticized for the devastating impacts on indigenous populations.

The Magellan Expedition was the first voyage around the world, led by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan under the Spanish flag from 1519-1522. It aimed to reach the Moluccas in Indonesia by sailing west, proving the Earth was round. Though Magellan was killed in the Philippines, the expedition successfully circumnavigated the globe with one ship, the Victoria, and 18 survivors returning to Spain in 1522 under Juan Sebastian del Cano. The expedition vastly increased geographic knowledge and established the first global trade route.

It summarizes key events and figures including Columbus' first voyage in 1492, the Viking exploration of Leif Ericson around 1000 AD, the conquests of the Aztec and Inca empires by Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s, the establishment of St. Augustine, Florida as the first permanent European settlement in North America, and the founding of New France by French explorers such as Cartier, Champlain, and Marquette in the 1600s. The document compares the Spanish, French, and English colonization efforts and influences during this early period of North American history.
Colonial america
The Age of Discovery began in the 15th century as European powers sought new trade routes and lands. Portugal, Spain, England, France and the Netherlands launched explorations led by figures like Columbus, Vespucci, Cabot and Verrazano. These explorations resulted in contact with indigenous peoples in the Americas and led to the beginning of European colonization and exploitation of resources. The Treaty of Tordesillas divided control of newly discovered lands between Spain and Portugal. Significant explorations included those by Columbus, Cortes-Real, Cabot, Vespucci, Magellan and others. Indigenous populations declined sharply due to disease and conflict with European colonizers.
Read the passage and answer the questions ม.3
Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy in 1451. He believed he could find a shortcut to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. The King of Portugal refused to finance his trip, so Columbus presented the idea to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. In 1492, they agreed to fund his voyage with three ships and a crew. After two months at sea, land was sighted, and Columbus named the native people "Indians" believing he had found Asia, though he actually discovered North America. Columbus died believing he had found the shortcut to Asia, though later explorers understood the importance of his actual discovery.

Christopher Columbus made four voyages to the Americas between 1492 and 1504. On his first voyage in 1492, he landed on an island in the Bahamas, believing he had reached Asia, and proceeded to explore the Caribbean. Though he did not discover North America, his voyages led to the widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas.
The Columbian Exchange
This document discusses Christopher Columbus and the consequences of his voyages to the Americas in the late 15th century. It describes Columbus' upbringing and experiences at sea that convinced him the world was round and could be sailed around to access eastern trade routes. It details his voyage in 1492 with three small ships, during which he discovered the West Indies and landed in the Americas, though he did not realize he had found a new world. It also discusses the devastating impacts on indigenous populations from European colonization and diseases, with populations declining rapidly in the decades following first contact.

Marzano’S Best Practices And Instructional Strategies
Marzano's research identifies several effective instructional strategies that can improve student learning across content areas including identifying similarities and differences, summarizing and note taking, reinforcing effort and providing recognition, and setting objectives and providing feedback. These strategies require specific implementation techniques and teacher feedback to achieve their full effect on student learning as reported in research. While cooperative learning and other strategies can be effective, students also need time for independent skill practice and not all strategies work in every situation.
Pyramid Game

2) Students restate the term in their own words using their background knowledge.
3) Students represent the term visually through drawings or other graphics.
4) Students use the term in other contexts to deepen their understanding.
5) Students discuss the term with peers to add to their understanding.
6) Vocabulary games provide further exposure to reinforce the term.
To Measure Something One Must
To measure something, one must first decide what attribute will be measured, such as length, weight, or volume. Then a standard unit for that attribute must be selected, such as centimeters or grams. The object to be measured is compared to the standard unit to see how many units it takes to match the attribute. For example, to measure the volume of a bucket, one could see how many cups of water it takes to fill the bucket. Standard measuring tools can also be used to quantify attributes, but comparisons must still be made to the standard units.
Personal Mastery2
Personal Mastery is a set of practices that support people in keeping their dreams whole while also cultivating an awareness of their current reality. This creates a tension between what one has and what one wants that naturally seeks resolution, so children try to move reality closer to their dreams.
Measurement Attribute
This document defines and provides examples of common measurement attributes used in science including length, area, perimeter, volume, capacity, time, weight/mass, and angles. Examples include measuring the length of a piece of paper using different units, comparing the areas of different rectangles, determining which rectangles can be made with a given perimeter, ordering containers by volume and capacity, timing a pendulum swing, and measuring angles with a protractor. Standard units provided include inches, feet, yards, miles, centimeters, meters, kilograms, grams, seconds, minutes, hours, and degrees.
Measurement And Geometry Bav
The document lists geometry and measurement terms organized by grade level including: kindergarten terms like circle, square, triangle, length, and time; 1st grade terms like inch, foot, hour, and temperature; 2nd grade terms like fractions, gallons, pounds, and symmetry; 3rd grade terms like area, perimeter, faces, and metric units; 4th grade terms like angles, parallel, perpendicular, and rotation; and 5th grade terms like metric prefixes, plane, and straight angle.
Developing Measurement Concepts
Measurement involves comparing an attribute of an item to a standard unit with the same attribute, such as comparing lengths to units of length. To measure meaningfully, one must understand the attribute being measured and be familiar with the unit of measure used. Estimating measurements and benchmarks for common units helps increase familiarity and prevent errors, aiding meaningful use of measurement. Measurement instruments replace direct use of units, so it is important to understand how they work for correct, meaningful use. Area and volume formulas allow measuring using only length measures. Area, perimeter, and volume are related though not precisely, as shapes change but maintain the same area or volume.
Assessments
Progress monitoring involves regularly testing critical reading skills to determine if a student is making adequate progress and whether instruction needs modification to accelerate reading achievement. Diagnostic tests measure a variety of skills and are given if extra help is not resulting in adequate progress to precisely plan instruction. Screening tests provide an initial assessment of a student's preparation to identify those who may need extra help to make sufficient progress in reading.
Character First
The document provides definitions, I will statements, quotes, synonyms, and antonyms for 12 character traits - one for each month of the year. The traits are faith, responsibility, patience, initiative, self-control, punctuality, resourcefulness, tolerance, creativity, discretion. For each trait there is a definition, examples of how to demonstrate that trait through "I will" statements, an antonym and synonym, and supporting quotes about the importance of that trait.
Personal Mastery 4
Children and adults alike are motivated to learn new skills that will help them achieve purposes and visions they have, such as playing with friends, gaining independence, or communicating with family. Lifelong learning allows people to actively engage with life and work toward creating their desired futures.
Personal Master 3
Learning is most effective when sparked by the learner's own interest and curiosity, as this allows learners to see where they want to go and assess where they currently are. For learning to be enduring, it requires the learner's ardent interest and assessment of their own progress. Effective learning happens when driven by the learner's own motivation to understand.
Personal Master 1
Teachers act as coaches to help students achieve personal mastery. This coaching begins with how teachers view their students - with an open mind to each child's potential and a belief that they can achieve their dreams and aspirations regardless of any limits, background, or obstacles they face.
