I have a free lapbook based on a small part of the book The World Of Columbus And Sons. Also, look at my page Homeschool Lapbooks – Powerful Tools For Mastery Learning.
Too, this lapbook is geared toward middle and high school students. And like the book, The World Of Columbus And Sons the lapbook is based on the events during the life of Columbus.
We now have the completed lapbook. And the minibooks are based on the Renaissance events which happened during the The World Of Columbus And Sons.
Besides, Genevieve Foster, author of the book beautifully weaves together the stories of artists, scientists, rulers, and explorers from across the globe during the same time period.
Whether you teach Columbus as villain or friend, you can use the lapbook to teach other subjects like geography and Magellan’s route.
For example, I only have 1 minibook about Columbus.
The other minibooks in the lapbook are the printing press, fall of Constantinople and even about art of the Renaissance period.
Too, I have several notebooking pages that can be folded to add to your lapbook.
THE WORLD OF COLUMBUS AND SONS BOOKS FOR KIDS
Next, look at this list of books for all ages.
The World of Columbus and Sons
The World of Columbus and Sons offers a unique window into one of the most transformative periods in world history.
This is the story of a wonderful, changing, reawakening world of the Renaissance and Reformation. Measured by the lifetime of Columbus and his sons, this book spans the years from 1451-1539. With Columbus as the central figure of this narrative, readers will also learn the fascinating stories of Prince Henry the Navigator, Ivan III of Russia, Gutenberg, Queen Isabella, Leonardo da Vinci, Mohammed II, the African ruler Nomi Mansa, Martin Luther, Erasmus, Albrecht Dürer, Copernicus, Michaelangelo and many others.
As is their custom, the d'Aulaires have thoroughly researched their subject in order to provide the most historically accurate account of the life of the man Samuel Eliot Morrison called "the greatest mariner that ever lived." In their pursuit, the d'Aulaires traveled to Spain, Portugal, and the Caribbean Islands to research original documents on the life of Columbus. Their text reflects many little-known facts not generally included in the typical biographies of Columbus. Readers will learn that it was the saga of Leif Erickson that was one of the inspirations for Columbus's voyage to the East. They will also learn that Columbus was such a skilled astronomer that he knew the exact date when the next eclipse of the moon was and used that knowledge to his advantage. They will also learn that though "Columbus was a great man, he was not a modest man. He wanted too much, and so he did not get enough" (54).
Christopher Columbus thought he knew where he was going. He had planned to be the first to cross the ocean and reach the rich lands of the Indies. And when he returned to Spain, he insisted to everyone who would listen that he'd succeeded. But that wasn't exactly true. Little did Columbus know that his mistake would come to be known as America!
When Christopher Columbus landed on the island of San Salvador in 1492, what he discovered were the Taino Indians. Told from a young Taino boy’s point of view, this is a story of how the boy tried to warn his people against welcoming the strangers, who seemed more interested in golden ornaments than friendship. Years later the boy, now an old man, looks back at the destruction of his people and their culture by the colonizers.
In addition, look at these other activities for learning about the time that Columbus lived in.
