In this unit, you are learning about the early explorers and the world in which they lived, and civilizations in the Americas before they were discovered by the explorers. For this assignment, pretend that you are one of the early explorers working to discover a new route to the riches in the East. In the process, however, you land in the Americas. Write four to five paragraphs that discuss the following: In your first paragraph discuss some of the problems you might encounter putting together your exploration. In your second paragraph give examples of some of the technology of the 15th or 16th century you might use to help navigate a route to the East. In your last paragraphs describe what civilizations you might encounter upon landing in the Americas. Compare the civilizations you discover in the Americas to your own civilization in Europe. Use a Venn diagram like the one below to make the comparisons. At the top of the diagram over the circle on the left, you should write the heading: 15th Century Civilizations in Early America. At the top of the diagram over the circle on the right, you should write the heading: 15th Century Civilizations in Europe. Fill in the circle under each civilization with characteristics that are different between the two civilizations. Fill in the intersection in the middle with characteristics that are similar or the same in both civilizations.
