Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. Generally speaking, excellent. Large format, well-chosen illustrations, mature text. Endpapers are Waldseemuller's map. Words and content too mature for young children. The World Made New provides a detailed account of the charting of the New World and the long-term effects of America's march into history. With engaging illustrations and 6 National Geographic maps, the book takes young readers through the adventre of the Age of Exploration -- both glorious and inglorious. The timeline of history unfolds with how the early colonies were established; how dissemination of products like the potato, tomato, tobacco, and corn made the Americas a major part of the new world economy; and how the Caribbean became a major trading hub. Information is presented about the Age of Exploration in chronological order. The book explains the causes, what happened, and the consequences. There are large photographs and illustrations presented throughout the book. The information is easy to read and the author has condensed the information into a few pages for each topic. It could be used for many different units- study of Columbus, Age of Exploration, conquistadors, history of colonization in the Americas, etc. It could be adapted for any grade although the target grades are probably 3rd - 8th. Aronson reviews the purpose behind world exploration before Columbus set sail: mainly to gain riches and knowledge. He explained that sailors were looking for shorter routes to Asia, and discussed what the Americas looked like before Columbus. He then goes on to discuss the explorations of Columbus, as well as those who followed him and what brought them to the areas they explored (i.e. Cartier on the St. Lawrence, how different foods were introduced to different areas). Students often are removed from anything outside of their immediate surroundings. This book would lend itself well to an exploration of civilizations and how the world as we know it came to be. Students could read parts or all of the book to gain a better understanding of how people changed with world, and the various timelines and captioned pictures help summarize what the book is reporting. This book would also be a great resource for non-fiction text feature studies. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
