Manaal History #1

Welcome to the very first ''Manaal History''.

Our special words of the day are latitude and longitude.

Latitude: A distance north or south of the equator , usually measured in degrees.

Longitude:a distance east or west of the prime meridian usually measured in degrees too.

Today we will be answering one of our FAQ. Was Columbus good or bad?

Well the truth is there is no real answer. He killed many innocent Indians but he also unlocked the doors to the settlement of America.He was a bad man but he did something great.So yah. Have a fab day.

What is a Standard??

A standard is something that most people agree is appropriate and acceptable.

Example:

In America a STANDARD to eat with a fork, not fingers.

Teachers are expected to behave in standard way: Talk calmly, not yell and help kids learn material.

In school we have standards we are supposed to learn: It is standard for fifth graders to know haw explorers came to the New World, that everything we read has a main idea and 2/4 can be simplified to 1/2!!!

Kid Writing Elly's Ship Log

Hey I'm Manaal and to tell you the truth I am the author of Elly's Ship log. Well I have to do this for history so here it goes. The explores wanted to go to Asia from Europe to get silks and spices . Then people started ending up in a place they called the ''New World'' now known as North America. Then they started civilizing there and formed a areas called colonies. A colony is a land under another country claim. The End .

Didn't that sound like I copied it out of a history textbook. Well this sounds a little short for blog so I must keep going.

Well when they got there they weren't nice to the Natives . Oh and Chris Columbus you know who named Indians Indians because he thought he was in India.

The End.(again)
