The 4th grade class at MJGDS created an ebook about Fort Caroline, the first French settlement in North America. The ebook contained information on Rene de Laudonniere, who led the French settlers and oversaw the construction of Fort Caroline. It described the challenging voyage for the French to the New World, the design of the fort, and the relationship between the French settlers and the native Timucua people. The students included details on the weapons and cultures of the French, Spanish, and Timucua. They reflected that creating the ebook was an educational project that allowed them to learn about and share the history of Fort Caroline using modern technology.
The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina has remained a mystery since the late 16th century. John White established the Roanoke Colony in 1587 but was forced to return to England for supplies due to war with Spain. When he returned three years later, he found the colony abandoned with the word "Croatoan" carved in a post. Various archaeological evidence and accounts from native tribes suggest some colonists may have died from disease or starvation while others potentially joined local tribes, though the ultimate fate of the Lost Colony remains undetermined.
This document provides an introduction and table of contents for an eBook about the Lost Colony of Roanoke. The introduction describes how Sir Walter Raleigh organized the colony of Roanoke at Queen Elizabeth's request to establish English lands in the New World. It then discusses Raleigh's relationship with the Queen and how he fell out of favor after marrying one of her maids. The table of contents outlines the various sections that will be covered in the eBook, including the colonists' journey, surviving on Roanoke Island, the Croatan Native Americans, myths and theories about what happened to the colony, and reflections from the student authors.
The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island in 1587 consisted of 114 settlers including women and children. Governor John White left the colony to retrieve supplies but was unable to return for three years. When he finally returned, he found the colony abandoned with the word "CROATOAN" carved in a post. It was never determined what happened to the Lost Colony, though theories suggest they integrated with the Croatan Native Americans or were killed in conflicts. Archaeological evidence may provide clues to their ultimate fate.

The English made two attempts to settle Roanoke Island off the coast of what is now North Carolina in the late 16th century. The first colony failed and the settlers returned to England. The second colony, established in 1587, mysteriously disappeared. When supply ship captain John White returned from England a few years later, he found the colony abandoned with no signs of what happened to the approximately 90 men, 17 women, and 9 children. The only clues were the letters "CRO" carved into a tree and "CROATAN" carved into a post, but the fate of the "Lost Colony" remains a mystery.
Queen Elizabeth I gave Sir Walter Raleigh permission to establish the Roanoke colony in North America in 1585. The first group of 100 settlers struggled due to lack of supplies and Indian attacks, returning to England. In 1587, Raleigh sent another group led by John White, but White had to return to England for supplies, leaving the colony deserted with just the word "Croatoan" carved as a clue. The Roanoke colony ultimately failed due to lack of planning, supplies, and people to defend against enemy attacks and storms.
The document provides details about the lost Roanoke colony from 1584-1590. It summarizes that Sir Walter Raleigh sent explorers who first encountered Roanoke Island in 1584. Two failed attempts were made to establish colonies there in 1585-1586 and 1587. The second group included Virginia Dare, the first English child born in America. However, when their leader John White returned from a supply trip to England in 1590, he found the colony abandoned with no clues as to what became of the settlers. There are several theories but no conclusive evidence to explain the mystery of the lost colony's fate.
The document summarizes information about the Roanoke Colony, including its establishment in 1587 led by John White, its unknown fate, and theories about what may have happened to the settlers. It also outlines plans to visit sites related to the Lost Colony, such as Fort Raleigh National Historic Park and a play about the colony.

Antonio Pigafetta's account provides valuable information about Ferdinand Magellan's historic 1519-1522 voyage, the first to circumnavigate the globe. Pigafetta accompanied the expedition and recorded details of their interactions with indigenous peoples in the Philippines and the Pacific, including the first mass held in the Philippines in 1521. His journal describes the challenges faced by the expedition, such as hostility from locals, lack of food, and disease. It recounts key events like Magellan's death in the Battle of Mactan in 1521. Pigafetta's account helped prove that Earth is round and contributed to understanding of geography, navigation and history.
The document summarizes the history of European colonization of North America, focusing on the French colonies. It describes how the French allied with local Algonquian tribes to help them defeat rival Iroquoian tribes, with the French providing muskets. However, the French colonies struggled due to a lack of settlers and challenges of the harsh Canadian climate and threats from hostile Native American tribes. Ultimately, the British colonies grew larger in population and territory, leading to them taking control of the land formerly held by the French in North America.
The document provides a history of the United States from early Native American civilizations through the colonial and revolutionary periods. It describes how Native Americans first migrated to North America over land bridges thousands of years ago and developed diverse cultures across the land. European powers like Spain, France, and Britain later colonized parts of North America beginning in the 1500s and more permanently in the 1600s as they established 13 colonies with settlers from various European nations. Tensions grew between the colonies and Britain in the 1700s over issues of taxation and representation, culminating in the American Revolutionary War and independence in the late 1700s.

The French and Indian War was fought between British and French forces, along with their respective Native American allies, over control of territory in North America between 1754-1763. The war began as a result of ongoing territorial disputes between Britain and France in the Ohio Valley and grew to become a global conflict known as the Seven Years' War. Through victories like the Battle of Quebec in 1759, the British were ultimately successful in defeating the French and gaining control of most French territories in North America east of the Mississippi River by the 1763 Treaty of Paris, which ended the war.
St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the continental United States, founded by the Spanish in 1565. It has changed hands between Spain, Britain, and the United States over the centuries due to various treaties and wars. In the late 19th century, it became a winter resort destination under industrialist Henry Flagler. Some of St. Augustine's most notable historical sites include the Castillo de San Marcos fort, Fort Mose settlement as the first legal free black community in America, and the oldest schoolhouse in the United States.
The document discusses the 18th century European empires and their colonial ambitions. It describes how empires used mercantilism to promote their economic interests and gain control over trade. This led to increasing tensions and rivalry over colonies in North America and India between France and Britain. The Seven Years' War from 1756-1763 resulted in major territorial changes that strengthened Britain's hold on North America and India at the expense of France and Spain.
The document summarizes the major European colonial powers and some of their earliest colonies in North America during the 15th-17th centuries. It discusses the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French and British colonies, as well as some of the earliest English settlements like Jamestown, Plymouth, and St. Augustine. Key events mentioned include the founding of Brazil by the Portuguese, the establishment of the 13 British colonies along the eastern seaboard, and the first Thanksgiving celebrated by the Pilgrims in Plymouth in 1621.
This document provides a summary of the geographical features, people, and history of the United States. It describes the United States as consisting of 50 states across North America with varying climates. It then characterizes the diverse population and discusses the early discoveries and explorations of the land by Asian pioneers, Vikings, and later Europeans like Columbus, which led to colonization by Spain, England, France, and other powers in the 16th-17th centuries. It summarizes the colonial wars between these nations that ultimately resulted in England gaining control of the majority of North American territory.
The document summarizes the history of slavery in the colonies from the Atlantic slave trade through its establishment and resistance. It discusses how approximately 10 million slaves were brought to the Americas over 300 years through the triangular trade route. Slavery took root in the colonies as the plantation system profited from slave labor and indentured servants were temporary. Laws were passed in the colonies in the 1600s that established slavery as a lifelong condition and restricted slaves' rights. Several slave revolts occurred, leading colonies to enact slave codes with harsher punishments and restrictions to control the enslaved population. African cultural influences persisted more on large plantations where slaves had less interaction with whites.
1) The document discusses the decline of the Spanish empire from its peak in the mid-1500s due to a series of costly wars and economic troubles.
2) It then covers the rise of European overseas empires through the 15th-18th centuries as nations established colonies and trade networks in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
3) The transatlantic slave trade played a key role in building and supporting these empires, with millions of enslaved Africans transported to the Americas between 1492-1820.
Thomas Harriot and John White surveyed the Roanoke colony in North Carolina. John White returned to find the word "Croatoan" carved on a tree, but the fate of the Lost Colony remains a mystery. Two major European powers, Spain and England, sought to settle the New World. Spain was primarily interested in gold and silver, while England hoped to find religious freedom for persecuted groups like the Huguenots. Martin Frobisher and others launched exploratory voyages for England seeking the Northwest Passage.

Thomas Harriot and John White surveyed the Roanoke colony in North Carolina. When John White returned, he found the word "Croatoan" carved in a tree, but the fate of the Lost Colony remains a mystery. England's interest in colonization was driven partly by religious persecution, as many sought freedom to practice their beliefs. The Spanish and English quickly moved to settle the New World, with Spain seeking gold and silver, and England more interested in establishing colonies for religious freedom.

3. Introduction
Eliana J. and Ayden I.
We are a fourth grade class at the Martin J.
Gottlieb Day School in Jacksonville, Florida.
Our teachers are Ms. Shelly Zavon, Ms. Sara
Luettchau, and Ms. Karin Hallett. In our Social
Studies class we have learned about Fort
Caroline. Fort Caroline was the first attempt to
start a French settlement in the New World.
The French settled in Florida in 1564. Fort
Caroline was demolished by the Spanish in
1565.
In November, the fourth and fifth grade
classes took a trip to Fort Caroline. We were
very interested in the fort, so with Ms. Hallett’s
help, we created an ebook explaining the
history of Fort Caroline and the Native
Americans who lived in the area around the
fort at the time.
Fig. 1. MJGDS 4th grade class.
4. When the French settled in Florida in 1565, they barely
survived the first year. There were 300 Huguenots,
including men, women, and children. Huguenots were
members of the Protestant Reformed Church of France.
They came so they could be free from law. They wore gilded
armor and bright clothing ("Explorers and Settlers").
About the French
Zach R. and Josh M.
Fig. 2. Huguenot from 1500s.
5. Rene de Laudonniere was a French Huguenot explorer. He was also the leader of the
Huguenots (Florida Historical Society). The Huguenots were members of the Protestant
Church during the 16th and 17th century. They wanted to leave France because they
wanted religious freedom. His three ships landed near St. Augustine and sailed further
where they found the St. Johns River, which de Laudonniere named “River of May” (Florida
Center). Rene de Laudonniere decided the location of the fort and organized its
construction (Timucuan). He later became the governor of the French colony there.

6. A Voyage to the New World
Rebecca B. & Samantha Z.
We do not know what the French’s voyage was like, but
we do know what voyages were like at the time in
general. People on the ship were cut off from normal life
on shore for months, sometimes even years. They had to
accept cramped conditions, diseases, and poor food and
pay. The trip from Europe to the New World was very
dangerous. On the journey, workers had to eat bad and
rotten food that sometimes had bugs in it.
On the ship to the New World, supplies were limited. The
people on the ship worked very hard in all kinds of
weather to earn money for their families. The pay was not
very good so most of the men were very poor. Some of
the workers died from hunger and disease. But hopes of
a better life in the New World made many people want to
take a chance with the voyage, no matter how bad it
might be for some (Royal Museum).
Fig. 4. This is a representation
of a French ship.
7. The Design of the Fort
Zach M. And Julia C.
Fort Caroline was built
in 1565.The fort was a
triangular shape
because the French
fortresses were often
designed with that
shape. There where
moats surrounding it
and the structure was
sturdy. The structure
was made of wooden
planks and where
meant to be
temporary. The fort
was on an island in the
St. Johns river. The
fort had small cannons
to defend the French.
The French where
living in the fort in
order to be protected
from the Timucua and
the Spanish.
Fig. 5. Old etching of Fort Caroline, from the Florida
State Archives.
8. The Timucua Native Americans helped the French start their new settlement when they
arrived in the New World. One of the first big challenges for the French was to try to meet
their survival needs. It was hard to find food in the New World, because they did not know
anything about the new environment. The Timucua helped the French by telling them what
was good and what was not healthy to eat.
The French also had to avoid diseases which was difficult. This was hard because they
could get sick and, if they got sick, they could die (National Park Service).

9. The Life of the Timucua
The ancestors of the Timucua are called “People of the Shell Mounds”, because all Timucua
looked for food and shells in and along rivers or near the beach. They also fished and collected
shellfish, hunted in forests and swamps, and planted maize, beans, and squash. The Timucua
lived in North Florida and South Georgia. Devastated by European disease and attacks by other
Indians, the Timucuan culture started to become extinct. From a population possibly numbering
tens of thousands at the time of contact, only an estimated 550 Timucuas were still alive in 1698.
Today, there are no known Timucua left (National Park Service).

10. At first, the French settlers were very nice and
friendly. The Timucua were also friendly by giving
the settlers food such as grain and fruit and teaching
them how to survive (Trotter). The relationship was
great at first, but then things started to change and
both of them became more hostile when the
Timucua realized the French only wanted gold
(Florida Department of State).

colonist.
Relationship Between the Timucua and the French
Jeremy Z. and Evan L.
11. The Spanish used swords and harquebus. The swords were long and made of metal (Minster).
Harquebus were like rifles, but older, weaker, longer, and no longer used in battle. The
harquebus was also called hackbut. It was the first gun to be fired from the shoulder. The name
came from the German words meaning “hooked gun.” The harquebus was made in Spain in the
mid-1600s (“Harquebus”).
Spanish Weaponry
French Weaponry
Emily T.
The French used swords, swivel guns, and harquebus (Chartrand). The harquebus’s range
was about 650 feet (“Harquebus”). Swivel guns were like cannons (Swivel Gun). The French
and the Spanish wore armor but the Native Americans did not.
Elad O.
Fig. 10. Harquebus.
12. The Timucua used several weapons.
There were wood clubs, javelins,
stone hatchets, and the most popular
weapon for hunting and warfare, the
bow and arrow. The Spanish were
amazed by the Timucua's skill at
archery. The Timucua arrows could
go through a horse's chest almost all
the way to their tail. If shot from 80
feet away, their arrows could go
through two layers of armor worn by
the Spanish and their horses (Emery).
Timucua Weapons

13. French vs. Spanish:
French and Spanish Relationship
It was the year 1565 when the Spanish fought the French for
Fort Caroline. The French wanted to expand their empire,
expand Christianity, and control the New World. They heard
about Florida and wanted to claim it for themselves, but the
Spanish had found it first and wanted nobody else on their
land. The French set up a fort and named it Fort Caroline.
The French tried with all their might to protect their land. In
the end, the Spanish won and obliterated the entire fort.
Then, the Spanish built their own fort at the site and took
control of Florida (Jimenez).

19. Project Reflection
For the past few months we have been working hard to create our ebook on Ft.
Caroline. We found this project to be challenging and fun at the same time. Some of
the fun aspects were: getting to take a field trip to Ft. Caroline, working on the ipad,
using the Book Creator app (which we never had not used before), collaborating and
writing about our topics with classmates, and getting to work with our Librarian, Mrs.
Hallett.
Some of the challenging parts were: arguing with partners when collaborating and
writing, finding and checking out websites to make sure they were credible, finding
images that were not copyrighted, learning how to cite images and websites, adding
citations, and making sure we did not plagiarize.
Overall, this was a difficult, yet educational project. Even though the settlement and
destruction of Ft. Caroline happened hundreds of years ago, it is special to learn and
teach others about it using modern technology.
