What did you learn so far about explorers and the colonization of Canada?

I have learned so many things about explorers and colonization. There were two explorers of Canada named John Cabot and Jacques Cartier. They both did great deeds for their countries. Cabot found a new land named Newfoundland and took a lot of fish there. Cartier found some native people. Because of explorations, Europe became more and more advanced. Then, they became strong and made their first step to become colonizers.

Feedback loops help us to see reality as a system. Can you think of an example of a feedback loop from your own life? Look at page 225 of your textboo

In my life, there is a feedback loop about having meals and studying. I eat my breakfast, lunch and supper everyday. This is every one's things they need to do. Food give me energy to study. If I don't eat meals, I won't have energy to study because I will be hungry. When I'm hungry, I won't study well. This is a feedback loop in my life.

4. Why did the Northwest Passage suit the goals (agenda) of the Eurpean explorers and monarchs?

Because it was an approach to Asia that can help people found Asia. It was new and strange to people in the past, so they could go to Asia to find something new. Explorers could use it to get riches and different cultures. That was a great way to them to carry new things to their countries. For monarchs, it was a good way to expand their countries' areas.

3. Find a map by Humphrey Gilbert from 1582. What do you see in the picture? Explain.

This is a picture of Humphrey Gilbert's map.The map shows a Earth but with a strange shape.There are a lot pieces of land and ocean, just like the real Earth.and people believed his opinion. Explorers also believed that they could easily get to China and Japan by sailing. From this map, we can find that the technique at that time was not as less as we had imaged.

If you were John Cabot and someone told you the Northwest Passage didn't exist. What would you say? What would you feel? How would you react

I think it is correct. But I was not happy, because they can't have the opportunity to experience. I believe him.Their idea is not impossible enough, I can't overthrow them without evidence.I would try to find the real passage that connects Europe with Asia.But I will to try it!!

If the maps around you showed the existence of the Northwest Passage, would you believe it? Why?

I don't believe him, because the map is painted often have mistakes.And everyone is different, so the direction of stand for different ways.We should believe compass,He pointed to the direction is right.

Do you think human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today?

I think human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today.The earth and the universe are very large and mysterious. Human has many things didn't find, so human can't know all things about the earth and the universe. Moreover, human have many things can't find the answer.Though people used a lot of technologies to search on the earth, people think the earth is round now. People in the past all thought the earth was flat, but the idea has changed now. This makes people confused.So, it is possible that humans have a false concept of the earth and the universe today.

2. Imagine you are a person who believes the earth is still flat today. What are 5 reasons to support your argument that it is still flat?

1.we can not see the earth is round by using our eyes.

2.If the earth is roundish, the people how to live and walk.

3.We can not feel the earth in moving.

4.The people see things are limited.

5.The horizon is a straight line that we see.
