=**PORTS**= THE SEXTANT What is a sextant? - A sextant is a 15th century tool to measure angles between any two visible objects.
 * Port 1: (Diana Lim)**

How do you use a sextant? - Sextants are usually used to know the distance of a celestial object that is later used for navigation in the seas. In the 15th to 16th centuries, astronomy is used to help captains in ships into navigating which direction and distance of one place to another.

**Summary of Voyages** Diana and Cindy  Diana and Cindy ventured out to the mighty Atlantic Sea into finding a route to Southeast Asia-for goods and for spreading Christianity-by travelling south. People thought that they were both crazy, which took awhile to actually find a country to sponsor their trip. Portugal decided to sponsor Diana and Cindy’s voyage. It turned out that the further their voyage went made it really cold for the 2000 people. People died by having frostbites-usually their toes. However, they found an unknown lands called Antarctica and found unknown animals such as penguins.Their new discovery made Europe a buzz.

Vespucci:  Vespucci wanted to find a way to Asia without having to go through the Muslims.He tried to find a way to get to Southeast Asia but he went down along Africa’s Brazil. During the voyage, the people in the ships got scurvies from lack of vitamins. After their way in Brazil, they went through the Hispaniola-which is next to Mexico- and went back to Portugal.

Cortes In 1519, Hernando Cortes landed on the shores of Mexico. His purpose of the exploration was for the search of gold and silver. When Cortes first arrived the Aztec capital, Tenochititlan, the Aztec believed him to be a God and supplied him with gold. However, a rebellion broke out by the Aztecs when Cortes killed many Aztecs. Cortes easily defeated the Aztecs because the Aztecs were not immune to the disease the Spaniards brought with them and therefore died by the hundreds of thousands.

Hudson In 1609, Henry Hudson found the Hudson River, Hudson Bay, and Hudson Strait in his search for a northwest sea route to Asia. The Dutch claimed the region along these waterways known as New Netherlands and established a fur trade, which lead to the formation of the Dutch West India Company.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What did the Triangular Trade route do and cause?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> The Triangular Trade route made an efficient trade among Europe, Africa, the Americas and caused a high increase of African slavery that effected the world, today. The Triangular Trade route was a three-way trade between Europe, Africa, the Americas that traded foods, expensive items and slaves. This route was created in the Age of Exploration, the European Renaissance. The increase of African slavery was caused by the colonization of the Americas, spread of Islam and especially the demand for cheap labor. This increase made the ‘slave trade’ that benefited European economy; for Africans, not so much a benefit. The slave trade had consequences that were tragic such as millions of Africans dying in harsh lives or voyages. Ever since this Triangular trade, Africans lost numerous generations of people and have mixed populations with American and European populations today. The Triangular Trade made a huge beneficial impact on European economy-which gives a reason why Europe dominated during the 15th to 18th centuries.

=**9/22/11 - Homework**= I believe that this picture tries to surprise the people who look at this image because the huge numbers of Muslims in the world is very astounding. Million is a huge number! Zheng Le, the great leader in China in the early 1400s, was a Muslim--which was very surprising. I believe the Zheng Le being a Muslim is surprising but, this picture stretches my astonishment even further. The textbook, //Modern World History//, doesn't talk about Muslims a lot in the 1400s but, having to see this many Muslims in the world makes me astonished. Muslims helped the Europeans into being enlightened later in history(when China was closed up) which got China-to later-base off their knowledge from Europeans. Muslims are important religious people in the world and having to have the textbook not talking about Muslim as much---I believe this picture helps them signify that Muslims exist.

I believe this map shows the importance of how hard Zheng He worked with the exploration.

=**Class 15**=

__Underlined text = edited text in class 15__


 * I See:** a naked man, an old man, many people behind the old man, the old man is on an orange thing, the naked man is lying down on land, both main men are inches away from touching each other by their hands, wind blowing from west to east and a green cloth blowing in the wind. I also see contrast colors: orange and blue.


 * I Think:** I think that this picture is called Creation of Adam painted by Michelangelo in the Renaissance on the Sistine Chapel. I think this picture shows the link between a human and God because Creation of Man is based on Christianity. The naked man is Adam because Adam represents the first human which represents human civilization. __I think the naked man represents the beauty of men which is what the Enlightenment had. I think this painting gives a positive message as a propaganda for Christianity so people can believe in Christianity at the time. The colors are bright that brings positivity by beauty into the painting. I think 'God' is using only one finger because it shows how much power he has because in the painting he has only one finger and creates life with only one finger! Adam being very powerful makes me think that one message Michelangelo gives is that humans have strong potential-a humanist message. The link between Adam's and God's finger makes me think that God and Adam has a relationship which gives a touching feeling to people who visit the painting into having believe in Christianity--which makes this painting a religious propaganda. This painting being on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel gives the message that this event of the //Creation of Man// happens up in the sky-otherwise Heaven(in Christian belief).__


 * I Wonder:** I wonder how Michelangelo imaged this amazing painting on the Sistine Chapel. __I also wonder how Europeans know that the Creation of Man really happens in Heaven--why not Koreans?__

=**Class 11-12**= My thought of this picture is to show how early China explored earlier and how big the ship is because from how the ship is drawn makes me think that China's ship was pretty huge. In further explanation, I think this picture depicts that China explored earlier than the Europeans because from my thoughts the giant ship is China(which I can depict out of from the designs of the ship) and the small ship depicts Europe because of the symbol(Jesus Christ's cross) on the drapes of the small ship**-**since China worshiped the religion of Buddhism and Europe worshiped the religion of Christianity.
 * China's Golden Age:**

The map on the wiki shows Europe in the 1400s. My idea of this map is the importance of understanding Europe in the 15th century because it I believe that it is important to understand how the whole world looked like in the 15th century(not just China's 14th map) to understand the 15th century-having understanding is one of the traits of being a historian, which is what I should do to all history I learn nay, all of situations that occur in my life. In conclusion, the map on the wiki gives understanding of how the 15th century Europe looked like- it is important because we can use the trait of understanding and substitute that into other situations to not just history but, to everyday problems.
 * Europe in 1400:**

I believe that this gif shows how China grew in size after centuries. Analyzing the picture, I see that China was separated before but grew into one territory in later centuries.
 * Territories of the Dynasties in China:**

This map shows the silk road from China to the Middle East Europe. On the right-hand corner of the picture, it says "Map 3" which might mean there are other types of the Silk Road. I believe that this picture implies the importance of the Silk Road by showing the long Silk Road because the Road was a connection between Europe and Asia-which in the time was genius. The silk roads went through the modern countries: China, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Bahrain, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
 * Silk Road Map:**
 * Q1. Through what MODERN countries did the silk roads go?**

This map shows the population in the 1400s-1600s but, I think this map is meant to be purposely compared to compare both time's populations-which expanded over two centuries.
 * European City Populations:**

In my belief, I think this map is for people to recognize where the important things are in the building which can get people to appreciate the olden times of China because the names of the things in the building like "Temple of Sun" sounds rare- which makes people appreciate it more because of it's rareness.
 * Bejing City Wall Map:**

I think this map is just for locating the museum for people who want to visit the Ancient Bell museum and other famous places in Bejing because there are red dots on the well-known places in Bejing. Q2: I think the Great Wall will reach to Shenyang.
 * Bejing Map Overview:**

I believe that this map shows the strength of each ruler: Qin, Han, Jin and Ming. Building the walls made protection for the Chinese(even if it is ironic how many people died from making the walls) and also showed the strength of the rulers because in the time, rulers were braggarts who tried to show of their power. This map shows the many walls from the four rulers which is very important so people can appreciate the rulers and their walls.
 * Great Wall Map:**

I think this map makes the people have appreciation because this map is linked with history. It isn't the primary source but, it gives off information about the map and reading the 1421 pages (that Ms.Boyle assigned) gives more understanding of the map- therefore appreciation.
 * Prime Mediterranean Map:**

I think this Grand Canal is very important for Chinese history because this canal was the first biggest trading system in China. It also killed thousands of people to even complete this project. It's importance is probably implied in the picture because this shows how China made the canal or a trade system before the Europeans.
 * Grand Canal Map:**

=**9/1/11**= The three maps that are listed in the "Cultural Interactions: Islamic World and Western Europe" tell me the different empires and cultures overriding Western Europe. However, the maps show me that the different empires and different kinds of people give Western Europe more of different cultures like how the Saudi Arabians brought culture of the forgotten European information to Western Europe that influence Europe directly from hav

Incomplete. I am more concerned that what you write about is not what the maps show. 1/3

= = = = = = =APPARTS of "The Black Death" 8/25/11= = =

I believe that the author’s name on the website isn’t there. However, the point of view of this website is on European and American history because the tabs of the website is basic middle school history-which is popular English history.
 * Author**: Who created the source? What do you know about the author? What is the author’s point of view?


 * You have not looked/read this closely enough. The author's name is quite clear, as well as a brief description.**

On bottom of the home page, the website was updated in 8/21/2011 which makes it more reliable because it tells the audience that the author(s) of the website is more modern.
 * Place and Time**: Where and when was the source produced? How might this affect the meaning of the source?


 * This is not when/where the source, which is an introduction to //The Decameron//, was written.**

The Black Plague was an event that killed 3/4 of the European lands which was otherwise called the Black Ages. The Black Plague started in the islands of Euro in the Mediterrian Sea and moved to the main lands of Europe. The Black plague would usually kill people in only three days. In the end of the Black Plague, the Renaissance started with Leonardo Da Vinci, the Renaissance man.
 * Prior Knowledge**: Beyond information about the author and the context of its creation, what do you already know about the era/topic that would help you further understand the primary source?

I believe that this source is for everyone but, specifically to grade years and middle school years. In usual American public education, seventh graders start studying world history(specifically European history)--which is why this website might be mostly targeted to middle school years. This affects the reliability of the source because it is the information might not be too specific enough for other people like high schoolers or university students.
 * Audience**: For whom was the source created and how might this affect the reliability of the source?


 * Historical sources are not generally written for students.**

I believe that this source was made (1997-2011) because it is for factual purposes--to educate others or to specify more on events for kids in middle school, because when I looked at the homepage, there was a section called “Voices of the 20th Century” which gets learners to have a further understanding of the 20th century.
 * Reason**: Why was this source produced at the time it was first made?


 * Well, without knowing the source was created in 1350-53, you cannot really get the reason for writing it.**

I believe that this source is trying to convey more facts about the Black Plague for learners because not only it has the popular historical facts but, there are also pictures of examples like the “plague victim” on the website. There are also background information to the event on the sides which is also useful because it gives a further-better understanding of the event.
 * The Main Idea:** What point is the source trying to convey?

This source is extremely important because it can help others to learn about the Black plague with background information that gives further understanding. We can use this source and compare it to other everyday problems to big, huge, titanic political problems: which, is an important aspect that is taught in World History.
 * Significance**: Why is this source important? What inferences can you draw from this document? Ask yourself, “So what?” in relation to the question asked.


 * Cindy, you seem to be still struggling with APPARTS. Please see me. U. This may also be because you did not attempt the first APPARTS assgnment, so were not able to practice.**

=Written Source(copy of the diploma)= == This source is a secondary source because it's a copy of the original document.

=**My mother’s diploma day(writing with references to the sources)**= On the 15th day of June in 2003, I have graduated Hope International University into finally getting my master’s degree in English literature and in education. I was standing in a line full of other graduates-waiting for my diploma. I saw my family sitting at a white clothed table looking around the busy area to search for a Korean black gowned lady, I, in the huge curvy line of graduates. I was like an elated child at Disneyland- my mind scattered as if the only thing that was clear in my ears was the sound of my heart racing with pure adrenaline. My time soon came as the man on the podium called out my name, “Miran Lee.” A huge applause roared in the audience as I marched up the stairs and latched my hands on my diploma. It was amazing, simply astounding. I took my diploma and went to my family as they all screamed out cheers of celebration. My daughter gave me a banquet of congratulatory flowers that smelt utterly delicious. My professor, Dr.West, came to me, put an arm around me and smiled. “Great job, Miran” he said with a pat on my shoulder. My son, at the time 11, took a picture of Dr.West and my mom-which is framed and standing proudly in my house today, which I’ll forever-more remember as my arousing day.
