Activity 3: The Columbian Exchange
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer born back in 1451. He started sailing when he was 14 years old and spent a lot of his life looking for a passageway from his home continent of Europe to Asia. He never found one. Instead, he spent much of his time in the Americas (North, Central and South).
Christopher Columbus was, and still is, a very controversial man. Some people would even call him ‘infamous’ (well-known for doing something bad) because he spent much of his life sailing around the world, enslaving innocent people, spreading diseases and taking natural resources from the countries that he visited. His actions had a significant impact on the lives of others.
Who has had a significant impact on your life?
For this activity, please think of someone who has had a positive impact on your life. Who is this person? What did they do that was positive?
On your blog, please tell us about this person.
My positive person is the amazing Jonah Lomu. Jonah Lomu was a rugby player and was super strong and fast!. Throughout his rugby days, He scored 37 tries, which made him the sixth-highest try scorer for New Zealand and the eighteenth highest on the all-time list. He was someone to look up to when I used to play rugby. I always wanted to play like him and I still do! Even my brothers look up to him. I used to watch the highlights of his matches to watch how he played. But when the news hit my family, we were all devastated, but me and my brothers still try and play like him. Jonah Lomu was and still is a rugby legend and he will be missed.
