<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 180%;">Level 4

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 180%;">Columbus's first sighting of land has been called by Europeans the "discovery" of a new continent that was later named after another European, Amerigo Vespucci. Vespucci also gave the region another name - the "New World." After a voyage to Brazil, Vespucci wrote a letter called //Mundus Novus//, Latin for "New World," in which he explained that he had found "what we may rightly call a New World<span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">... a continent more densely peopled and abounding in animals than our Europe or Asia or Africa...." It would have surprised the Indian peoples of the Americas, who had built civilizations long before Columbus's arrival, to hear that their world was new. Many people today prefer to talk about the explorations of 1492 as an "encounter" between two worlds. Think about the terms "discovery" and "encounter" and what kinds of perspectives they imply. React to this and provide examples and perspectives from the Natives and explorers of the Western Hemisphere.
