Extractions: Objectives: The students will be able to: describe the goals and accomplishments of an individual explorer. determine the exploration policy of one European country. rank and defend the exploration achievements of competing European countries. gather relevant information from a variety of resources. Description of lesson/activity: The students will have completed the research and class discussions about the situation in Europe during the 1400s which caused the Europeans to explore. Students have also identified the attributes necessary for an explorer. Students will now ex amine the lives and explorations of several individual explorers. Rather than dwell on a chronology of explorers and accomplishments, the activity has been designed to emphasize the in±depth research of a few explorers and to use this research to infer the exploration policies of the countries involved. The students should be divided into groups of three. One student from each group should be assigned to gather information on three explorers from Spain; the second student should gather information on explorers from France; and the third on explo rers from England and the Netherlands. Spain and France were highlighted because they were the leading countries during this time period. England and the Netherlands were examined together because they had similar exploration policies and were no t as prominent as the others in the search for new lands. Portugal was not included because their early discoveries were dealt with in the first part of this unit as the cause for other Europeans to explore. Fact sheets have been provided for the following explorers:

Extractions: Charles I respected De Soto and his accomplishments in Central America and wanted to capitalize on Spanish footholds in Central and South America. He provisionally signed onto an agreement that made De Soto Governor of Cuba and also of the land known as Florida. The King gave him seven ships, but only four years to colonize the region. The King allowed him to select what people he wanted for the journey, but Charles I forbade lawyers from joining the venture as "they were known to cause trouble over land titles and the division of crown spoils."

Extractions: The European Age of Discovery Since the days of antiquity, exploration of the world has been motivated by the desire for adventure, colonization, conquest and trade. During the Middle Ages the Norsemen crossed the Atlantic to Iceland, Greenland and North America ca 1000 A.D. However, these expeditions did little to stimulate the rest of Europe's interest in the western hemisphere. During the 12th century European attentions turned to the East as the objective of the Crusades, was to capture the Holy Land from the Muslims. European knowledge of, gained during the Crusades, and interest in the East was intensified by the journeys missionaries across Asia and the wide circulation of Macro Polo's detailed account of the wonders of the Orient. During the course of the Crusades overland trade routes were developed thereby increasing trade between Europe and the far East. By 15th century, the breakup the Mongol Empire and the growth of the Ottoman Empire blocked Europe's overland trade to the East. The search for new trade routes, the rise of merchant capitalism, and the desire to exploit the potential of a world economy initiated the European "Age of Discovery and resulted the discovery of unknown continents, the expansion of Europe and the creation of great empires. Henry the Navigator promoted expeditions along the cost of Africa that helped dispel the superstition and misconceptions that impeded previous attempts to sail through the torrid zone. The magnitude of the world is revealed by Bartholomew Diaz rounding the Cape of Cape Good Hope, Vasco de Gama's trip to India, Columbus' voyage to the America's and the circumnavigation of the world by the expedition of Ferdinand Magellan. The Spanish and Portuguese monopoly, resulting from the Treaty of Tordesillas, stimulated efforts to find other passages to the East and was later challenged by the French, the Dutch and the English.
Extractions: This quill and ink sketch is likely to be the first map based upon an actual inland exploration of the present day United States to show the Appalachian Mountains, the flow of rivers to the Atlantic, and the location of Indian villages. A mother map of first importance, the geographical outline was the basis for charts of mapmakers for over a century. Found among the papers of Alonzo de Santa Cruz, royal cosmographer to Charles V, the map reflects the official Spanish conception of the area from the Cape Fear River to the Panuco River in Mexico. The Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains are depicted. In 1539, conquistador Hernando DeSoto, accompanied by 600 soldiers, 2 women, 300 pigs, and 223 horses, arrived in Tampa Bay in 9 ships. He traveled inland 3,000 miles in search of gold and other treasure. The trip ended in disaster as DeSoto died of fever in 1542 along the banks of the Mississippi River. The map was probably drawn from information gained from surviving members of the expedition. This copy was obtained from the Archives of the Indies, Seville, Spain.
