Extractions: By sheer coincidence, several months ago I chose to review the multimedia CD-ROM entitled: Explorers of the New World without remembering that here, in Canada, we were about to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the landing of John Cabot and his ship, the Matthew, on our east coast. This CD, issued by SoftKey Multimedia Inc Subjects range from entertaining trivia to fascinating historical information. The "Navigational Instruments" icon in the Columbus story has an adequate discussion of the instruments and methods whereby the early ocean sailors managed journeys on the open seas. Their use of the quadrant, compass, and "dead reckoning" for navigation would amaze travelers of our century who are accustomed to pinpoint radar positioning. For Columbus and his contemporaries, reckoning wrong meant that the phrase "dead reckoning" could (and often did) take on a literal meaning!

Extractions: Evaluation ... Presentation Introduction Have you ever imagined what it would be like to find a chest full of treasures? L ong ago, when a sea captain set off on a voyage to a far away place, possibly never explored by humans before, he always kept a chest containing logs, maps, charts, and artifacts relating to his voyage. This chest was a treasured possession of the explorer. Its contents could be used to document his findings and help him in his quest for fame and fortune. Back to Top Task I n this WebQuest, you and your group will take on the role of archeologists who have found the missing treasure chest of a famous explorer.

Your Captain's Chest will contain the following items: A map of your explorer's voyage Explorer's Journal Artifacts Navigational Tools A timeline of the major events that occurred during the explorer's voyage(s).
