  • Great Barrier Reef
    Teacher’s Guide for APPLESEEDS July/August 2013: The Great Barrier Reef Teacher’s Guide prepared by: Sandra K. Athans, National Board Certified Teacher, literacy author & consultant, and freelance children’s writer living in upstate New York. This guide provides practical classroom activities teachers may wish to use to supplement the reading passages appearing in this issue. Vocabulary words are highlighted (italicized words are defined in the article) and small group and independent activities/projects that address a range of learning styles are suggested. Many of these are suitable for group work or homework. Discussion questions and activities align with the Common Core National Standards (Reading for Literature and Informational Text; Writing Standards for Text Types and Purposes, Research to Build Knowledge, Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas; Vocabulary Acquisition and Use; Speaking and Listening, Comprehension and Collaboration, and Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas). Objectives: To supplement the reading and discussion of this magazine, students will: 1. Explore the Great Barrier Reef and learn important features of this environment. 2. Gain an appreciation of the Great Barrier Reef by identifying its value as a natural resource. 3. Synthesize new information on their understanding of the Great Barrier Reef. Pre-reading Activity: Introduce an essential question: (1) What distinguishing features make up the Great Barrier Reef and (2) what important function does the Great Barrier Reef serve as a natural resource? While introducing these guiding questions, you might also wish to create a KWL Chart (with headings “What I Know, What I Want to Learn, and What I Learned) about the Great Barrier Reef.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

It has been only 9 months since the Society was launched in October 1992, and membership has risen rapidly during this period. So rapidly, in fact, that it soon became obvious to the Steering Committee and myself that we would outgrow our position as the North American Chapter of the British Society and would have to restructure our organization. Firmly focusing on the Society's founding objectives of preservation and education, we have recently filed State and Federal papers to structure the Historical Diving Society as a non-profit educational corporation.

  • How the Colonies Were Actually Governed
    1 THE DANISH WEST INDIES UNDER COMPANY RULE (1671-1754) INTRODUCTION: GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL If Belgium has been described, and not inaccurately, as “the cockpit of Europe,” the West Indies may be regarded as “the cockpit” of sea power. The islands and mainland of the Caribbean and Gulf regions have been among the prizes for which European states have contended in practically every war of consequence that has been fought during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Just why Spaniards, Frenchmen and Englishmen, Dutchmen and Danes, Swedes and Brandenburgers, and even Knights of Malta and Courlanders, should all at one time or another have directed their energies to West Indian commerce and commercial exploitation is a question that very few, beyond a limited number of specialists, are able intelligently to answer. The heterogeneous character of the West Indian political map of to-day has behind it an interesting story, and one thoroughly worth studying, for those who wish to grasp understandingly the reasons for European interest in America before Spain lost her various American Colonies on the mainland. So far as the immediate effects upon Europe were concerned, the beating back of the Spanish frontier in the Caribbean regions by Spain’s commercial rivals was far more important at the time than the distant frontier struggles of Spaniards, Frenchmen, and Englishmen on the mainland of America. The present study is an attempt to separate from the tangled skein of West Indian history the single small thread that concerns the early efforts of Denmark-Norway to establish itself in those distant regions.
