Topic: Discovery
Date: 10/2/08


1. DEFINE
a. Discovery
(Look up the definition in a dictionary.
The word "discover" should not be in your definition.)


2. THOUGHT QUESTIONS:
  • Why do you think Europeans might have felt that they were “discovering” America?
  • How does saying that Columbus “discovered” America reflect an ethnocentric view of the world?
  • Do you think people today should stop saying that Columbus “discovered” America? Why or why not?

(Your response to the thought questions should be 2 complete paragraphs.)
