Places named by early explorers

LI: to find places named by early explorers.

We had to collaboratively and find places named by early explorers. We found places named by Captain James cook, Kupe, and Able tasman. places get named by friends or important people so that they are remembered or so that they can get money, or the could be named becuase of there physical appearance. the place could also be named of something that has happened or based of a myth of legend.   

Past and present

For the past and present we had to explain about Kupe, Captain James cook, and what it is like today to use boats. and we had to also explain some of the problems  about there different transportation. Kupe sailed to New Zealand in a waka. James cook sailed in a big navy vessel. And modern boat us motors and gas to to move the boat. some problems with using a waka or the endevour is that the wind could stop and it could also stop the boat and it could stop moving. And of the problems with modern day boat are that when the motor for the boat is turned on gas an other chemicals could leak into the ocean and pollute it.
