The Portuguese were skilled sailors because they had a long history as seafarers and a long coastline. They sought an ocean route to Asia to access lucrative trade routes more quickly and profitably than traveling overland on the Silk Road. Portugal was the first European country to establish a sea route to Asia for trade.

13. british planning practices in india and pakistan
British planning practices in Pakistan and India began in the 19th century when the British arrived and began changing existing towns. During the British period, cantonment towns and civil lines were built adjacent to existing settlements. To improve civic conditions, the British introduced improvement trusts like the Bombay Improvement Trust in 1898 to implement town planning schemes and clear poorer homes from city centers, though many residents were not rehoused. In 1915, Patrick Geddes visited India and proposed collecting data and using "conservative surgery" for existing cities. The British emphasized functional efficiency, public health, and segregating land uses in their planning concepts. They also established the railway system, beginning with a proposed line from Karachi to Kotri in 1858.
Wheel History by jabo
The wheel is one of the oldest and most important inventions in history. It originated in ancient Mesopotamia around 3000 BC and spread to Europe and Western Asia by the 4th millennium BC. The wheel allowed for transportation and movement of objects with less physical effort. It has also been crucial for later technologies and inventions like the water wheel, cogwheel, spinning wheel, and astrolabe.
Explorations 2 2013
The document discusses new ships and navigation techniques that enabled longer voyages of exploration. It explains that explorers used new ship designs like the caravel, which had features like a clinker built hull, lateen sails, and a rudder that made them faster, easier to steer, and stronger for long voyages. The document also mentions several new navigation aids used by explorers, including the compass, log and line, quadrant, astrolabe, and portolan charts, which helped them measure speed, depth, direction, and chart their course.
Delhi : Stories in stones
Delhi has a long history as the capital of India, traced through its archaeological ruins from Indraprastha to Shahjahanabad. In 1911, the British moved the capital from Calcutta to Delhi, transforming the Mughal city into a modern capital designed by Edwin Lutyens. Delhi now has a modern transportation network including the metro, but historically relied on Victorian buggies and trains established in 1864. The city has a diverse economy and culture, with a confluence of clothing styles, art, and music influenced by its many rulers and migrants over time. However, old Delhi remains congested and polluted, while Lutyens' Delhi is much cleaner.

Litter vehicles
Litter vehicles are a class of human-powered transport used to carry people. Examples include sedan chairs, palanquins, and litters from various cultures around the world. Simple litters consist of a sling attached to poles or a frame that is carried by porters. In many ancient societies, rulers and dignitaries were transported in litters during ceremonies and processions. Litter vehicles like sedan chairs in China and palanquins in South and Southeast Asia were traditionally used by elites and royalty for travel, and hired out for transport, until being replaced by wheeled vehicles in modern times.
Commonly used victorian era transportation
The document discusses various modes of transportation in the 1800s, including carriages drawn by horses which became popular for women and commuting, barouches which were four-wheeled carriages used by aristocratic families, and trains which became a popular means of transportation connecting towns across England by 1854 and forming the first steam railway.
Titanic-love story
The document discusses the construction and sinking of the Titanic. It notes that construction began in 1909 at Harland and Wolff shipyards and was launched in 1911. The Titanic represented the modern age of shipbuilding. Wireless telegraphers on board communicated using Morse code. Several iceberg warnings were received on April 14th but did not reach the bridge in time. Due to the lack of lifeboats, women and children were ordered to board first during the evacuation, but many boats were launched only partially filled. British passengers reportedly died in greater numbers than Americans because they queued politely while Americans pushed their way onto lifeboats.

British passengers reportedly died in greater numbers than Americans because they queued politely while Americans pushed their way onto lifeboats.
A brief history of tracks
The document provides a brief history of train travel, starting with the first train in India in 1853 from Bombay to Thane, and discusses some early engineering feats like the Darjeeling loop constructed in 1880. It then discusses the opening of the London Underground in 1863 as the world's first underground railway system, and the opening of the Buenos Aires metro in 1913 as the oldest in Latin America. Finally, it mentions that the future of travel will involve riding trains in Bengaluru with a clean conscience.
Wheels of Change
The document discusses the history and development of wheels from ancient times to modern day. It notes that wheels were first used in pottery around 3500 BC in Mesopotamia and then for transportation around 3200 BC in chariots. Wheels with spokes were developed in Egypt around 2000 BC and spread to Europe by 1400 BC. Wheels drove changes that advanced civilization globally. The document concludes by emphasizing that change is constant and necessary for progress, and encourages the reader to embrace change in their own life to better the world.
Trains
Early attempts at steam locomotives in the late 1700s and early 1800s struggled with breakdowns and weak power. Richard Trevithick built the first steam locomotive to run on rails in 1804, pulling 10 tons of iron but breaking down after 100 yards. John Blenkinsop's 1811 design added extra wheels with cogs for better grip. "Puffing Billy" built in 1813 hauled coal in Northumberland for 50 years. The Liverpool to Manchester Railway competition in 1829 was won by George Stephenson, launching the railway mania era of the 1830s-40s when Britain's rail network expanded rapidly.
7 wonders of the world
The document summarizes seven famous landmarks from around the world: the Great Wall of China, Petra, the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, the Colosseum, and the Taj Mahal. It provides brief descriptions of each site, highlighting key details like the Great Wall's length, Petra's ancient ruins, the statue's measurements, Machu Picchu's well-preserved Inca architecture, Chichen Itza's development by the Maya, the Colosseum's large seating capacity, and the Taj Mahal's origins as an emperor's tomb for his wife.
Experimental Archaeology
Experimental archaeology uses reconstruction and testing to understand past maritime cultures. It allows researchers to experience vessel construction and use, gaining insight into builders' skills and thought processes. Several ship reconstructions are discussed, including the Khufu ship from ancient Egypt and the Kyrenia ship found off Cyprus, revealing details of their design, propulsion, and cargo. Replicas like the Olympias trireme and Viking ships provide data on speed, handling, and crew experience to interpret ancient seafaring. Overall, experimental archaeology brings maritime archaeological findings to life.
18th & 19th centuries
During the Georgian period from 1714-1830, the Industrial Revolution transformed Britain from a rural to industrial nation. Cities like Manchester, Birmingham, and Sheffield mass produced cotton, coal, iron, and steel. Inventions like Thomas Savery's steam engine in 1668 and canals for transport helped industry grow. George Stephenson further advanced transportation with the locomotive and railroad. During the Victorian era from 1837-1901, Britain dominated the world under Queen Victoria. The 1851 Great Exhibition showcase British industry and technology, while inventions like railroads made by Thomas Cook allowed transportation of passengers. Life for child factory workers was difficult, involving long hours in dangerous conditions.

It discusses the rise of Melaka due to favorable geography, natural resources, and trade. It then outlines the colonial periods of Portuguese, Dutch, and British rule and some key events of each. The effects of the 1824 British-Dutch treaty signing and Japanese occupation from 1941-1945 are also examined.
Mrs. Taylor - The Middle Passage
The document discusses the Middle Passage and conditions for West Africans transported as slaves to the Americas. It includes a plan of a British slave ship from 1788 showing how tightly packed the human cargo was. It also depicts a 19th century engraving showing Africans being subjected to physical inspections before being sold into slavery.
Avilés, by Alicia Corchón
In the Middle Ages, Avilés was an important port town for salt trade. In 1085, King Alfonso VI granted Avilés a fuero, or set of privileges and rights. The town's coat of arms depicts how Christians seized Seville using ships with saws to break Moorish chains and bridges during the city's protection. Rui Pérez, the man who devised using saws on the ships, was from Avilés. In the 1950s, the steel company Arcelor (formerly Ensidesa) was founded and was very important to Avilés, causing population to quadruple in 20 years as people moved there for work.
7 wonders of the world
The document summarizes 7 famous historical sites considered wonders of the world: The Taj Mahal in India, Chichen Itza in Mexico, Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil, the Colosseum in Italy, the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu in Peru, and Petra in Jordan. Key details provided on each site include their locations, dates of construction, builders, and notable architectural features.
Transportation from the victorian era
This document discusses various modes of transportation during the Victorian era in England. Bicycles were mainly used by the middle class and children, as they were expensive when first introduced. Carriages pulled by horses were used by the upper class, as closed carriages were very expensive, while open carriages were still costly but less so. Walking was the most common form of transportation overall, especially for the lower class. Other options included crossing the London Bridge by foot or bicycle, or taking early trains as that technology started to emerge near the end of the Victorian period.

Spelling Contract
The document lists 40 different creative activities for practicing spelling words. The activities include writing words in different orders, colors and styles (e.g. backwards, without vowels); incorporating words into pictures, stories, puzzles and games; using varied materials like food, modeling clay or chalk; and converting words into codes, sounds or physical movements. The goal is to make spelling practice engaging and fun through multi-sensory and interactive methods.
Thematic Unit
This document outlines activities for a thematic unit in a library, including a featured book, a read aloud, a book on tape, art, science, a puzzle, blocks, geography, multiculturalism, math, writing, music, a poem, cooking, reader's theater, a field trip, a speaker, and role play.
Rti
Small group tutoring is provided to students who are struggling based on progress monitoring data, with weekly assessments to check their response. Those who respond well return to regular classes with ongoing checks, while non-responders move to more intensive support including possible special education. All students are screened and monitored regularly to determine if extra help is needed, and special education students have individualized plans and monitoring to check progress and see if they can return to less support.
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.

2) The equations show using letters like P to represent prices, W to represent weeks, and S to represent total savings to calculate totals.
3) Several word problems are presented that can be solved using equations that relate the variable representing an unknown quantity like number of items or weeks to other known variables and values.
6 Steps
The document outlines a 6 step process for teaching academic vocabulary:
1) The teacher introduces the term and provides a student-friendly explanation and examples.
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.
