Discover Columbus

Was Christopher Columbus a hero, an explorer, or both?   YOU WILL DISCOVER IT IN THIS LEARNING BOX!

What will I have to do?: Let's Explore! Welcome, young historians! Your mission is to step into the shoes of an explorer and uncover the story of Christopher Columbus.

Activity 1: The Big Idea!  Watch this short video: "Christopher Columbus for Kids" In your notebook, create a KWL Chart: K (What I KNOW): Write 2 things you already knew about Columbus. W (What I WANT to Know): Write 2 questions you have. L (What I LEARNED): You will fill this in after watching the video and other activities. Activity 2: The Explorer's Toolkit Can you find Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the Bahamas on a world map? Draw a simple picture of a caravel (Columbus's ship) in your notebook. Label its parts: sail, hull, flag. Why was this type of ship good for exploration? Activity 3: A Journey in a Suitcase Imagine you are sailing with Columbus in 1492. You can only take 5 items in your suitcase. What would you pack to survive the long, unknown journey? Draw and label them in your notebook and explain your choices. Activity 4: Create a Traveler's Scrapbook Objective: To summarize the key events of Columbus's voyages from a first-person perspective. You'll Need (in the box): A small blank notebook or pre-printed "journal" pages, replica "old" paper, pencils, tea bags (to stain the paper for an aged look), and a timeline of the voyages. Instructions: Age Your Paper (Optional): Crumple the paper and lightly brush it with a wet tea bag. Let it dry for an antique effect. Become a Sailor: Imagine you are a crew member on one of the voyages. Create a entry for important dates: August 3, 1492: "We set sail from Palos de la Frontera! The weather is fair, but some men are nervous." October 12, 1492: "LAND HO! We have reached an island. The natives call it Guanahani; the Captain has named it San Salvador." Illustrate: Draw maps, strange animals (like parrots), or the Taino people. Bind Your Journal: Staple or tie your pages together to create a personal keepsake. Language Focus: Journal, log, voyage, crew, land ho, encounter. "In my journal, I wrote about the things we discovered." FINAL TASK: Create an Explorer's Logbook! You are the official scribe on one of Columbus's ships! Your task is to create a logbook entry in your email for the day you first sight land (October 12, 1492). Your logbook must include: A date. A drawing of what you see (land, plants, people). A written entry (3-5 sentences) describing: How you feel (excited? scared? tired?). What you see. What you think will happen next. You can present your logbook page to the class as if you are the explorer reading your own diary!
