THE INVENTION OF THE PRINTING PRESS


 We have just started unit 9 and you are going to visit this museum soon, so you will have a chance to learn the printing press's impact on the city of Burgos.
So, who was Fadrique de Basilea? Why did he come here?

 Last week Briana talked during the Monday lesson about city names in America, such as New York, New Orleans, Los Ángeles...

Ferdinand Magellan

Monument of Ferdinand Magellan in Punta Arenas in Chile. The statue looks towards the Strait of Magellan.

Welcome to our blog! I hope we can use it to learn in a different way.

The first task that I suggest is to upload images of objects, food, etc. that has its origin in America, now that we are studying Unit 7 about Discoveries; so try to find something that we wouldn't know without Columbus' voyage and upload a photo!

UNIT 7 THE AGE OF DISCOVERY

Here you have some images related to unit 7. First, a photo of a statue of Bartolomeu Dias taken in London. It is one of the buildings in Trafalgar Square, South Africa House, where you can see this representation of the Portuguese explorer.

 The second one is from Burgos and it is related to Columbus and the Catholic Monarchs and the last tow photos were taken in Guetaria, Juan Sebastián Elcano's birthplace, where there are two monuments to commemorate his voyage around the world.
