Guidebook

Our guidebook provides information for learning about the Half Moon, the Hudson

River Valley, and New York State as a whole. We’ve also provided a three-day itinerary to give you an enjoyable, useful

trip in visiting this historically rich region of the United States.

Lesson Plan

Our lesson plan was created to give students a better understanding of Henry Hudson and his discovery of the Hudson

River through research and practical application.

Lesson Plan• Objectives: • 1) To explore the life and history of the explorer Henry Hudson• 2) To learn about and understand the voyages that Henry Hudson went on,

with the main focus on his third voyage• 3) To learn about each of the locations that Hudson came across when

sailing along the Hudson River• 4) To understand the importance of Henry Hudson’s ship, the Half Moon,

and the purposes it served• 5) To discover the interactions that Henry Hudson had with Native

Americans along his journey • 6) To explore the impact that Henry Hudson’s discoveries had on society,

trade, and the economy and how some of those impacts are still felt today• 7) To experience first hand what Henry Hudson accomplished and why it is

significant through a class field trip

Lesson Plan

• 4 teams, 5 students per team

• Each team will research one of objectives 3-6 and prepare an outline from the information gathered

• Each team will perform an activity that encompasses the key elements of the designated objective

Activities for Objective 3

• 1) Create a detailed and illustrated map of the locations that Henry Hudson reached and explored on his voyage to the Hudson River Valley in 1609.

• 2) Create a dated log with a list of Hudson’s key places of voyage that both documents Hudson’s passage and contains a brief paragraph for each location that describes what Hudson might have seen in each location at the time of his travel.

Activities for Objective 4• 1) Create a detailed sketch of the different compartments that

existed on the Half Moon and the purposes that each space within the ship served for Henry Hudson and his crew. Information regarding the size of the ship itself as well as its height and any types of defense that were housed on board should be included.

• 2) Examine the creation of the replica Half Moon and evaluate the span which it covers. Also, assess the key points of Hudson’s journey highlighted by the Half Moon replica to determine if any elements can be added or should be omitted based on historical accuracy.

Activity for Objective 5

• Create a list of cultural differences that existed between Henry Hudson’s crew and the Native Americans he encountered while on his voyage of the Hudson River Valley in 1609. Consider each of the following categories: Types of dress, types of food eaten, types of housing, types of spiritual beliefs and worship.

Activities for Objective 6

• 1) Create a detailed list of the precedents set by Henry Hudson during his journey to the region that may have differed from the way that the societies and economies were structured in the area at the time of his arrival in 1609. Next, create a graphic organizer that lists, in several sentences, payment methods for goods in services prior to 1609 compared to modern day economic structure.

• 2) Create a chart of the pros and cons of the changes that came about in the structure of society and the economy in the Hudson River Valley following Henry Hudson’s voyage in 1609. Are all of the changes positive? In what ways were previous structures more efficient? Are there any problems that existed within the system prior to 1609?

Trip Locations for Objective 7

• 1) A visit to the Half Moon Replica ship and New Netherland Museum. http://www.newnetherland.org/

• 2) A boat ride on the Hudson River. • 3) A trip to an historic home on the banks of the

Hudson River such as the Vanderbilt Mansion or the Mills Mansion to both view the Hudson River and assess the European influence on the Hudson River Valley that began with Hudson’s voyage in 1609.
