4 Key Essential Skills and Knowledge Essential Knowledge: There are seven continents and five oceans located in the world. The equator and the prime meridian divide the globe into four hemispheres. The four hemispheres are Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western. A simple letter-number grid system on maps is used to locate places. Terms to know hemisphere: Half of a sphere (globe); created by the prime meridian or the equator equator: An imaginary line around the middle of the Earth that divides it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres prime meridian: An imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres regions: Places that have common characteristics The physical shapes of the continents (North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica) and the positions of the five oceans (Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, and Southern) may be located on a world map. The equator and the prime meridian are used to create the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Hemispheres. England, Spain, and France are located on the continent of Europe. The United States is located on the continent of North America. San Salvador is located in the general area of the Bahamas. St. Augustine is located in northern Florida. Québec is located in Canada. Jamestown is located in Virginia. The letter (on the left) and number (at the bottom) coordinates of a grid system identify the approximate location of a place. Locations of places can be described in relative terms. Relative location may be described by using terms that show connections between two places, such as next to, near, and bordering. Bordering bodies of water Atlantic Ocean Chesapeake Bay Bordering states Maryland (to the north) West Virginia (to the west) Kentucky (to the west) Tennessee (to the south) North Carolina (to the south) Grade 4: Virginia Studies Page 4
5 Geographic regions have distinctive characteristics. Virginia can be divided into five geographic regions. Certain products and industries characterize each region. Fall Line: The natural border between the Coastal Plain (Tidewater) and the Piedmont regions, where waterfalls prevent further travel on the river Cities on Fall Line: Richmond, Arlington, Fredericksburg, Petersburg Geographic Regions: Coastal Plain (Tidewater) Low flat land Location near Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay (includes the Eastern Shore) East of the Fall Line Products: seafood, peanuts Industries: shipbuilding, tourism, federal military installations, tobacco, peanuts, & fishing Indian language: Algonquian People: English settlers primarily - Africans where agriculture required intense labor Historical places: Jamestown, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Fredericksburg, Mount Vernon, Norfolk Naval Base, Great Dismal Swamp Piedmont (land at the foot of mountains) Rolling hills West of the Fall Line Products: tobacco products, information technology, corn, lumber and farming Industries: federal and state government, farming, horse industry, technology and textiles Indian Language: Siouan People: English settlers primarily - Africans where agriculture required intense labor Historical Places: Richmond on the fall line, Appomattox, and Monticello Blue Ridge Mountains Old, rounded mountains that is part of the Appalachian mountain system Located between the Piedmont and the Valley and Ridge regions Source of many rivers Products: apples Industries: recreation, farming Grade 4: Virginia Studies Page 5
6 Valley and Ridge Includes the Great Valley of Virginia and other valleys separated by ridges. (The Valley and Ridge regions are part of the Appalachian mountain system.) Shenandoah Valley: Indian name "clear-eyes daughter of the stars" Located west of Blue Ridge Mountains Products: poultry, apples, dairy, beef Industries: farming (Livestock, apple and other fruit orchards, poultry: chicken and turkey farming) People: Germans and Scotch-Irish settled primarily Historical places: New Market Battlefield, Natural Bridge, Natural Chimneys, & Luray Caverns Appalachian Plateau (plateau: Area of elevated land that is flat on top) Located in Southwest Virginia Only a small part of the plateau is located in Virginia. Products: coal Industries: coal mining Indian Language: Iroquoian Water features were important to the early history of Virginia. Many early Virginia cities developed along the Fall Line, the natural border between the Coastal Plain (Tidewater) and the Piedmont regions, where the land rises sharply and waterfalls prevent further travel on the river. The four major rivers that flow into the Chesapeake Bay are separated by peninsulas. The Chesapeake Bay separates the Eastern Shore from the mainland of Virginia. Peninsula: A piece of land bordered by water on three sides The Eastern Shore is a peninsula bordered by the Chesapeake Bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Water Features Atlantic Ocean: Provided transportation links between Virginia and other places (e.g., Europe, Africa, Caribbean) Chesapeake Bay: Provided a safe harbor; Was a source of food and transportation James River: Flows into the Chesapeake Bay; Richmond and Jamestown located along the James River York River: Flows into the Chesapeake Bay; Yorktown located along the York River Potomac River: Flows into the Chesapeake Bay; Alexandria located along the Potomac River Rappahannock River: Flows into the Chesapeake Bay; Fredericksburg located on the Rappahannock River Each river was a source of food and provided a pathway for exploration and settlement of Virginia. Lake Drummond: Located in the Coastal Plain (Tidewater) region; Shallow natural lake surrounded by the Dismal Swamp Dismal Swamp: Located in the Coastal Plain (Tidewater) region; Variety of wildlife; George Washington explored and surveyed the Dismal Swamp. Grade 4: Virginia Studies Page 6
7 American Indians were the first people who lived in Virginia. American Indians lived in all areas of the state. There were three major language groups in Virginia. Christopher Columbus called the people he found in the lands he explored Indians because he thought he was in the Indies (near China). Artifacts such as arrowheads, pottery, and other tools that have been found tell a lot about the people who lived in Virginia. Three major language groups of Virginia Algonquian languages were spoken primarily in the Tidewater region; the Powhatan were part of this group. Siouan languages were spoken primarily in the Piedmont region; the Monacan were part of this group. Iroquoian languages were spoken in Southwestern Virginia and in Southern Virginia near what is today North Carolina; the Cherokee were a part of this group. Virginia s American Indians worked with the climate and the environment to meet their basic needs. Virginia Indian cultures have changed over time. Climate in Virginia The climate in Virginia is relatively mild with distinct seasons spring, summer, fall, and winter resulting in a variety of vegetation. Forests, which have a variety of trees, cover most of the land. Virginia s Indians are referred to as Eastern Woodland Indians. Environmental connections The kinds of food they ate, the clothing they wore, and the shelters they had depended upon the seasons. Foods changed with the seasons. In winter, they hunted birds and other animals and lived on stored foods from the previous fall. In spring, they hunted, fished, and picked berries. In summer, they grew crops (e.g., beans, corn, and squash). In fall, they harvested crops and hunted for foods to preserve and keep for the winter. Animal skins (deerskin) were used for clothing. Shelter was made from materials found around them. Native peoples of the past farmed, hunted, and fished. They made homes, using natural resources. They used animal skins for clothing. Today, most native peoples live like other Americans. Their cultures have changed over time. Grade 4: Virginia Studies Page 7
8 Archaeology is another way to help people understand the past. Recent archaeological digs have recovered new material evidence about Werowocomoco and historic Jamestown. Archaeologists study all kinds of material evidence left by people from the past. Werowocomoco was a large Indian town used by Indian leaders for several hundred years before the English settlers came. It was the headquarters of the leader Powhatan in Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in North America. Archaeologists have discovered the site of the original fort. The recovered artifacts give archaeologists clues about the interactions of the English, Africans, and Indians in early Virginia. American Indian people have lived in Virginia for thousands of years. Today, eleven American Indian tribes in Virginia are recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia. American Indians, who trace their family histories back to well before1607, continue to live in all parts of Virginia today. The current state-recognized tribes are located in the following regions: Coastal Plain (Tidewater) Region: Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Tribe Chickahominy Tribe Eastern Chickahominy Tribe Mattaponi Tribe Nansemond Tribe Nottoway Tribe Pamunkey Tribe Patawomeck Tribe Rappahannock Tribe Upper Mattaponi Tribe Piedmont Region: Monacan Tribe Location and physical characteristics influenced the decision to settle at Jamestown. When the settlers arrived in 1607, they founded Jamestown on a narrow peninsula bordered on three sides by the James River. Today, Jamestown is located on an island in the James River. Reasons for site choice Instructions told the settlers to go inland and find a suitable place for their colony. The location could be easily defended from attack by sea (by the Spanish). The water along the shore was deep enough for ships to dock. They believed the site had a good supply of fresh water. Grade 4: Virginia Studies Page 8
9 The English settlers found life in Jamestown harder than they had expected. Hardships faced by the settlers The site they chose to live on was marshy and lacked safe drinking water. The settlers lacked some skills necessary to provide for themselves. Many settlers died of starvation and disease. Changes that resulted in survival The arrival of supply ships; The forced work program and strong leadership of Captain John Smith; The emphasis on agriculture Essential Skills: Analyze and interpret maps to explain relationships among landforms and water features.
