Do You read magazines? Do you believe them? Did you know their false? They can be just as false as history book’s.Most Information in textbooks are true, but not all. Have you heard of Columbus day? Columbus day was based of a man named Christopher Columbus. If you have heard of him, You think he’s good, right? Well, you’ve probably never heard of the other side of the story.

    What Are Christopher Columbus Myths

    Thank you for that insight and information and excellent post! I had not heard or read before, that Christopher Columbus was imprisoned for his crimes and treatment of the Spaniards in his colony, and lost many of his titles and his wealth. There certainly were a lot of myths that were created by posterity in regards to Columbus, from the one I once read that said that scientists and navigators of his time believed that the Earth was flat or even square, when in fact, it was Columbus that was wrong about the Earth, and thought it far smaller than it was. I also did not know that Queen Isabella of Castile was against and did not support slavery, finding it ''offensive''. This is especially interesting when one considers that she was…

There was in fact other explorers that had discovered the new world, but unlike Columbus didn’t claim it. Columbus also wasn’t as…

    I thank my dad for bringing out the skill and mindset of an athlete. I not only use my competitive nature on the field but I also utilize it in the classroom. When I was younger, I would despise the person who got a higher grade than me. I wouldn't actually hate them, I would hate that they beat me. But when I would get the highest grade in the class I would feel like I had won the championship football game.…

    Lies My Teacher Told Me

    Loewen spends a chapter discussing the truth and lies surrounding Christopher Columbus and other early explorers and conquerors of the Americas. During the time periods Columbus and other explorers “discovered” what is now known as North and South America and Europeans began settling and using it to benefit themselves. Columbus set the example for Europeans who came to the Americas following his visit in regards to treatment of the native people, their lands, and goods. Columbus is often portrayed as a pivotal person in the settlement of the New World in the late fourteen hundreds and later on, yet his story is severely molded to make him into an ideal American hero for the public to celebrate the good and noble works of, ignoring the fact that he enslaved American Indians and robbed them of valuables. Loewen most likely chose his story because it is taught incorrectly to students from a young age and Columbus helped in causing explorers after him to come to the New World and treat it the same way he did. Columbus is one of the first American heroes, based on how U.S. history textbooks describe him, yet while he is significant in a sense, there is very little that is accurately taught about him.…

    Columbus Day Reflection

    This week was a short week with Thanksgiving right around the corner. After the kids came into the room and had silent reading for 25 min. Some worked on their reading and some took AR test. When that was done I went to the front of the classroom and handed out the magazines to the class. Once everyone got their magazines I told them to turn to page 3. This was the first explorer we went over and his name was Christopher Columbus. I choose him because Columbus Day just happened and I think it is important for the students to know why we have this day. Then I told them to turn to page 5 and this explorer was Hernan Cortes one of the most important Spanish explorer. The third explorer we went over was Vasco De Gama this is one of the most under…

    independence day speech

    independence Day- the day when British left the golden bird free from their rule. But the bird was left looted, harassed, with the slightest of hope to survive. Then followed a long fight for the survival of golden bird. 64 years have passed and the country is still ‘developing’. The whole world says and even we believe that we are the citizens of an independent country. But a question always keep on hovering in my mind, the answer to which I never found out. You also give it a try. Is India really free? Are we not bound by so many handcuffs of ever growing poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, crimes, men-women inequality, limited technology and the worst of all which potentiate other bounding forces too- Corruption?…
