The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.

-Theodore Roosevelt

This is the most fun project for the culture and civilization. In a group of nine, we are given a certain country and we have to perform a history play regarding that particular country. First of all, we have to understand about that particular country as a group. Next, we choose the most interesting or crucial part to perform. We arrange the plot of the play. After that, we choose our characters and start to research more thoroughly about each characters. We also do research about the costume of the characters and design our own costumes. Not only that, we also have to write out our script. We practice again and again so that we can act well on that day. We also do the props that are needed on that day to make the play more interesting.

Besides that, we also have individual work to do. We have to do an A5 size booklet and design the packaging. The packaging of every members of our group are very different from each other. Everyone has their own style of designing the packaging.

The main purpose of this project is to let us understand about the history of particular countries. We have to do research about the history of a particular country through this project. Not only that, we also have to understand the culture and tradition of that particular country. When we are watching others group performing their history play, we also will increase our knowledge regarding the history of a certain countries.

Historical Timeline

1357        Apr 22, Johan I, King of Portugal (1383-1433), was born.    1357        May 28, Afonso IV (66), King of Portugal (1325-57), died.    1391        Oct 30, Edward, [Dom Duarte], King of Portugal (1433-38) and author, was born.    1394        Mar 4, Prince Henry the Navigator, sponsor of Portuguese voyages of discovery, was born.    1415        Jun 13, Henry the Navigator, the prince of Portugal, embarked on an expedition to Africa. This marked the beginning of Portuguese dominance of West Africa.     1419        Prince Henry (d.1460), as governor of Portugal's southernmost province, attracted shipbuilders, cartographers and other nautical experts. His patronage was instrumental in stimulating European exploration in the first half of the 15th century.    1420        Prince Henry the Navigator (b.1394) gathered cartographers, navigators and shipbuilders in a fortress in Sagres, Portugal, to invent navigation technology to reach India, China and the Americas.  He later sailed south of the Canary Islands to the great eastward curve of West Africa at Sierra Leone. The search for Prester John as an ally against the Muslims helped inspire his explorations. Henry began dispatching expeditions from the nearby port of Lagos. Although dubbed "Henry the Navigator" by English writers, he never embarked on the voyages of exploration he himself sponsored. Nevertheless, the prince helped advance European cartography and the accuracy of navigation tools as well as spurring maritime commerce.    1420         Portuguese sailors and soldiers begin fighting the natives of the Canary Islands, 800 miles southwest of the southern tip of Portugal.   

1420-1480    The Portuguese explored the west coast of Africa along the Gold Coast, so named because here could be found plenty of gold to buy pepper.    1424        A Portuguese navigation chart showed a land called Antilia in the vicinity of the West Indies.    1432        Jan 15, Afonso V "the African", king of Portugal (1438-1481), was born.

1433 King John 1 was died( Because of plague)

Page 10: Cnc project-2-report (1)

1434          Gil Eannes, Portuguese explorer, made the first successful rounding of Cape Bojador, off Western Sahara, in a lug-rigged boat.    1441        Portuguese kidnapped several noble-born Africans, who in turn offered African slaves to the captors as ransom. In 1998 John Reader published "Africa: A Biography of a Continent."    1443        Jun 5, Ferdinand, Portuguese saint, slave to Fez, died.    1444        Slaves from Africa were first carried to Portugal.   1448        The Portuguese established the first European trading post in Africa.   1450        The Portuguese brought slaves to the uninhabited Cape Verde Island. 1455        Jan 8, The Romanus Pontifex, a papal bull, was written by Pope Nicholas V to King Afonso V of Portugal. As a follow-up to the Dum Diversas, it confirmed to the Crown of Portugal dominion over all lands discovered or conquered during the Age of Discovery.

1460        Nov 13, Prince Henry the Navigator (b.1394), Portuguese prince and patron of explorers, died.

1460-1526    Pedro Alvarez Cabral, Portuguese navigator, discovered and claimed Brazil for Portugal on April 22, 1500.

1462-1524    Vasco da Gama, Portuguese explore.

In spite of the overwhelming evidence against him, he still protested his innocence. The magistrate granted the man a final chance to prove his case. Seeing a cock in a basket nearby he said, “If I am innocent, the cock will crow.” The cock crowed and the prisoner was allowed to go free.
