Extractions: A NCIENT TIMES - TH C ENTURY ravelers of the ancient world explored distant regions not only out of necessity for such things as food and shelter but also out of sheer curiosity. A wide range of water craft designs were used by ancient travelers, enabling peoples from different lands to meet and communicate. With the growth of populations in areas defined today as countries, and the formation of systems to govern these populations, it became necessary to acquire more land and resources in order to gain power and compete in the world market. Trade soon became the key motivating factor for exploration while the advancement of shipbuilding techniques allowed for exploration at farther distances and for longer duration. Arab dhow By the 8th century, Arab language, knowledge and the religion of Islam had spread across vast distances. Muslim scholars (those who followed Islam) sought out scientific knowledge when exploring other lands. These scholars were first to calculate that the earth was round. Excelling in navigation, they are credited with the invention of the astrolabe . The best known Muslim traveler is Ibn Battuta who wrote about his adventurous 14th century journeys by sea and land in a book titled "Travels". The Vikings, namely Norse explorers Bjarni Herjulfsson, Eric the Red, and son Leif Erikson, discovered Iceland, Greenland, and the coastline as far south as the northeastern American states in the late tenth century. It would be several centuries before other European peoples explored the Americas.
Extractions: When Jacques Cartier was in Hochelaga (now Montreal) in 1535, a Mohawk man touched Cartier's copper captain's whistle and pointed in the direction of where the copper came from. The Native man drew a map in the dirt for Cartier, showing the lakes, rivers and major portages. A 900-mile trip that the Mohawk carried around in his head! Not Exactly Paper and Ink! Matonabbee, a much-respected Chipewyan guide, was asked to go and map the largest rivers to the north, hoping that there might be minerals to be discovered. Matonabbee left in 1762 and returned in 1767 with a map leading to the Coppermine River, drawn on deerskin with charcoal. How to Win a Race to the South Pole

Extractions: THE HISTORY OF CANADA Cartier's Explorations Ten years later Francis I followed up the work of Verrazano by dispatching an expedition under Jacques Cartier. On his voyage of 1534 Cartier sailed a route that was for the most part already well known. This was an official exploring expedition, however, and its immediate result was a thorough report for the French king about the lands he had seen and the people he had met. He visited and named most of the important coasts on the Gulf of St. Lawrence and observed near Anticosti Island that he might be in the mouth of a great river. The first known penetration of the interior through the St. Lawrence River gateway took place the following year, when Cartier returned as leader of a new expedition. Pressing upstream in three small vessels, he reached the Indian village of Stadacona, near the present site of the city of Quebec. A little more than 150 miles farther upstream he reached the end of navigation at a large island in the river. Here he found another Indian village, called Hochelaga, on the site of the present city of Montreal. From the height behind it, to which he gave the name Mont Real, he could see the foaming Lachine Rapids blocking the way to the upper waters of the St. Lawrence. At Stadacona, Cartier and his followers passed a bitter winter. Many of his party died from cold and scurvy before he could set sail for France the following spring.

Extractions: Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca [Cabeza de Vaca means "head of a cow"] (1490?-1557?) was a Spanish explorer who sailed to North America from Spain, leaving in 1527. He traveled from Florida to Texas on a raft, then walked from Texas to Mexico City. He also explored the Paraguay River in South America. De Vaca and his fellow travelers were the first Europeans to see the bison, or American buffalo For more information on Cabeza de Vaca, click here CABOT, JOHN Sebastian Cabot (1474?-1557?) was an explorer, mapmaker and navigator of Italian descent. He worked as a cartographer (mapmaker) for England's King Henry VIII, was a captain for Spain's King Ferdinand V, explored for England's King Charles V, and may have secretly explored for Venice. Sebastian Cabot's father was the explorer John Cabot Cabot searched for the Northwest passage across North America (1508). He began an unsuccessful trip around the world (1526-1529) in a voyage that supposed to sail to China and the Moluccas (the Spice Islands, in Indonesia), but he only made it as far as the enormous mouth of the Rio de la Plata (a river between Argentina and Uruguay in South America). Later, he began to work for the English again (for King Charles V), searching for a water passage across the north of Asia around 1553.

Extractions: Joni Strawsnyder, Julia Lind, Susan Hyland, Sharon Carino LESSON PLAN: Compiling and Using A Database TARGET GRADE/ SUBJECT Third grade; heterogeneous grouping; second grade reading level ability required; experience in data entry and sorting within the database program required; writing ability required. Learning about key explorers of North America is a major SOL objective for third grade social studies. This lesson would be an appropriate way to introduce students to a variety of explorers, create a reference (database) for future study, and at the same time allow them to practice research skills with a particular explorer. Additionally this lesson would allow them to more deeply connect with the life of an explorer by taking on his persona through writing. Third graders are naturally interested in adventure stories, and allowing them to write from the perspective of the explorer will tap into this motivation, even as they are performing a task (writing) that traditionally they do not enjoy. As researching is most likely a new skill for this age group, the lesson is designed to allow collaboration between two students, so that they might help each other through the assignment.

Extractions: Become a Gemologist Until the end of the 19th century, Cartier was primarily a retailer of jewelry and objects produced by outside manufacturers. When Cartier's son Alfred took over in 1874, the firm gradually began repairing and improving jewelry, and then designing and manufacturing their own original pieces in the late 1800s. In 1899, the move to 13 Rue de la Paix situated the business in the heart of the important jewelry and couturier quarter of Paris. Encouraged by King Edward VII, Cartier opened a branch in London in 1902 managed by Alfred's son Jacques. A royal commission was granted in 1904, followed quickly by commissions from Spain, Portugal, Russia, Siam, and Greece. These royal commissions helped to solidify Cartier's reputation among the wealthy and famous the world over.
