高中英语必修5 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Period 3 优质教案Period 3Reading and WritingThe General Idea of This PeriodThis period lays emphasis on extensive reading and writing.At first the teacher will check the students’ homework, by asking some individual stud ents to read out their summaries of the reading passage “Puzzles in Geography”.Then the teacher will ask the students some detailed questions based on the reading passage.This step has two goals.One is to help the students to consolidate what they have learnt during the last period.The other goal is to lead the topic to“Sightseeing in London”.In the next step the students are asked to read the passage fast and write down the places that Zhang Pingyu visited.After reading the passage again, the students will write down the comments on these places.This will be done by filling in a chart.Since it is an extensive reading passage, there is no need to understand it in detail.But the students should pay special attention to how the writer described these places, because they will undertake aAs is well known, language can only be mastered by being used.So, the students will next undertake a rather challenging task, that is, to introduce one of the famous buildings or attractions in their hometown or home village to a tourist.They should practice in pairs by asking and answering questions.Then the students will organize the information from the dialogue into an introduction to the attractions in their local guide book.While doing this, the students should pay special attention to wording, especially verbs andTeaching

thousand years before that, went in the fire.The Cathedral you see today was built by Sir Christopher Wren.There is also a monument to the fire, near Eastcheap, where there fire started, and you can climb up it and look down on the city.Or, if you feel like climbing, you can go up the 627 stairs to the top of St Paul’After the fire of London, some Londoners made new homes in new parts of London.Others wanted to come back, but found the new houses too expensive.The city started to lose its people and then, when the railways came, it was even easier to work in the city and live outside it.In the Second World War, many homes in the city werestreet names make you think of the people who used to live there, and bought their food in Fish Street and Breadoften they only sleep there, and

should have been born“within the sound of Bow bells”, that is to say, within the sound of the bells of the church of St Mary-le-London.But, in fact, all London’s citizens who were born and bred in the city may call themselves Cockneys if they like.However, the term is geThey Cockney accent is not a particularly pleasant or melodious（悦耳的）one, and the Cockney’s distortion （扭曲, 变形）of the English language is such that the foreigner often finds it impossible to understand the speaker until his ear has become acclimatized（适应）to the peculiar tones.The principal characteristics of the Cockney accent consist in a general slurring of consonants and a distortion of vowel sounds.The best known example of Cockney speech is mod ern English literature is that of Eliza Doolittle, the heroine of Bernard Shaw’sBut if Cockney speech is unpleasant, the Cockney himself is usually far from being so.The average Cockney is distinguished（区分, 辨别）by his quick wit, his ready sense of humor, his ability to“carry on”under unusual or difficult conditions and by his willingness to be of help if he can.The Cockney’s humor is often satirical（讽刺的）but it is never vicious（邪恶的）; he is always ready to laugh at other people’s peculiarities（怪癖）but he is equally ready to laugh at his own.He often makes jokes under the most difficult conditions, a quality that was very apparent during World War Ⅱ.This rather lugubrious type of humor is well exemplified（举例证明）by theNowadays, as the tempo of life in big cities grows ever faster (although the Cockney opposes this processwhen he can), the opportunities for the Cockney to exercise his wit and humor diminish(减少, 变小).But if one keeps one’s ears open on buses, in railway stations, in street markets and similar places, it will soon become evident that the spirit of Cockney humor is still very much alive, although the old Cockney pronunciation is lessMost people who call themselves Cockneys usually do so with some pride.And, by and large, they areFamous Buildings in London Hyde ParkCovering an area of 350 acres (140 hectares) Hyde Park is one of the best known Royal parks.Originally owned by the monks of Westminster Abbey, the park was later seized by Henry Ⅷ.Since then the park was historically recognized for duels（决斗）, hunts and political demonstrations.The Rolling Stones and Pavarotti have performed concerts here, amongst many others.The Serpentine is an artificial lake used for boating and bathing, and Speakers Corner situated at the north-Westminster AbbeyFounded in 1065 by Edward the Confessor, Westminster Abbey has been the site of every Royal Coronation since 1066 (except those of Edward Ⅴand Edward Ⅷ) and is the final resting place of many sovereigns, politicians, poets and artists.Burial in the abbey is one of the rarest and greatest honors in Britain.The nave is over a hundred feet high, the tallest of any church in the country.Behind the High Altar, in the Chapel of Edward the Confessor, the most sacred part of the abbey, rests the Coronation Chair.Coronations and royal weddings have been performed here for centuries.Buckingham PalaceBuckingham Palace has served as the Monarch’s permanent （永久的）London residence, since the accession （就职）of Queen Victoria in 1837. Built on the site of a notorious（声名狼藉的）brothel（妓院）, its days began in 1702, as the Du ke of Buckingham’s city ter it was sold by the Duke’s son, to George Ⅲ in 1762.Whilst the Queen is in residence the palace is closed to the public.During the two months that Her Majesty is not at home, the doors to the Palace are open to the general public.Tickets must be purchased in advance for aKew GardensSpring is probably the best time to visit, but all year round you will find a stunning array of flowers, lawns, formal gardens and bo tanical greenhouses.More than 50 000 different species of plants are cultivated at Kew. Commissioned（代理）by George Ⅲ’s mother, Princess Augusta, in 1759, Kew is now one of the world’s most important botanical research centres.Kew also offers many historical buildings including Palm house, a metal andSt Paul’s CathedralSet amongst the tower blocks of London’s financial sector, St Paul’s Cathedral has a dominatingamazing 160 m spire（尖顶）which was one of the wonders of medieval Europe until it was destroyed by fire.The Cathedral is open for visitors on Monday to Saturday from 8: 30.The last admission to the Cathedral for sightseeing is at 16: 00.The Cathedral Shop in the Crypt and the Crypt Cafe are open from 9: 00 to 17: 00 on Monday to Saturday and from 10: 30 to 17: 00 on Sundays.Special services and events may close all or part of the Cathedral—sometimes at short notice.It is a great privilege to welcome those who come here from many parts of the world to share the worship of St Paul’s Cathedral.Inside the enormous dome lies the Whispering Gallery(回音廊).It is said that if you whisper close to the wall it can be heard over a hundred feet away at the other side of the dome, although the gallery is normally too busy to try this for yourself.Tower of LondonThe Tower of London started as a simple watch tower, built by William the Conqueror, to keep an eye on the city.The Tower of London has acted as a royal residence, treasury, mint（造币厂）and a prison. The Crown Jewels are found in the Jewel House, and for many catching a glimpse of these precious stones can be the highlight of their visit.Tower BridgeDespite being just over one hundred years old, Tower Bridge ranks as one of London’s most famous attractions. A steel frame clad in granite（花岗岩）and Portland Stone, represents an amazing engineering achievement, allowing the road crossing to be raised giving tall ships access to upper reaches of the Thames.It is an impressive sight although it happens infrequently.Inside the north tower an exhibition expl ains the bridge’sShakespeare in LondonSome time between 1585 and 1592, it is believed that Shakespeare left Stratford for London and joined a company of actors as a performer and a playwright.Legend long held that Shakespeare left Stratford because he was being pursued by the law for poaching deer on private property.By 1592 Shakespeare had received some recognition, though not entirely positive, as an actor and playwright.He was mentioned in a pamphlet (A Groats-worth of Wit) written by Robert Greene.Greene refers to Shakespeare as an“upstart crow”in the London the ater and charges that Shakespeare was an unschooled player and a writer who used material written by his better educated contemporaries.Also during this year, the theaters in London closed due to the plague.By 1594 Shakespeare had joined a theater troupe known as the Lord Chamberlain’s Men.Scholars attribute several of Shakespeare’s plays to this time period.Although no one can be certain of the dates of composition for any of the plays, a considerable amount of scholarship has gone into the endeavor of accurately determining an approximate time period during which Shakespeare wrote each play.Some believe that The Comedy of Errors, a farcical play centering on the mistaken id entities of two sets of twins, may have been Shakespeare’s first play.A few counter that The Two Gentlemen of Verona, which focuses on the confl ict between romantic love and friendship, may have been Shakespeare’s first play.Some scholars suggest that the se plays may have been written as early as 1588 or 1589, while many others date both plays several years later, suggesting that they were written between 1592 and 1594.Other plays written during this early period include one of the histo ry tetralogies: Henry Ⅵ, Part One(1589-1590); Henry Ⅵ, Part Two (1590-1591); Henry Ⅵ, Part Three(1590-1591); and Richard Ⅲ-Ⅵ, Part One was Shakespeare’s first play.This tetralogy treats the Wars of the Roses, the conflict between two factions of nobles.The last play of the sequence, Richard Ⅲ, ends with the establishment of the Tudor dynasty, to which belonged Queen Elizabeth, who ruled during much of Shakespeare’s life.It is also believed that Shakespeare wrote Titus Andronicus (1592-1594), The Taming of the Shrew(1593-1594), and Love’s Labor’s Lost (1593-1595) during this period of his life. Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare’s earliest tragedy, deals with the cycle of revenge which destroys the families involved in the play’s action.The Taming of the Shrew is a lively comedy featuring the willful Kate and her“tamer, ”Petruchio.Kate’s“taming”(her apparent and uncharacteristic submission to her husband) often troubles modern audiences. Love’s Labor’s Lost has been described as a satiriz ation of the courtly and somewhat artificial love of male nobles, and of the academic pursuits, which were often more fashionable than serious in Shakespeare’s time, of the nobility.In addition to these dramatic works, it is believed that Shakespeare wrote the poem Venus and Adonis and began composing his sonnets in 1592 or 1593.He eventually wrote 154 sonnets.Between 1593 and 1594, he probably wrote the poem The Rape of Lucrece.In 1596 the patron of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men (Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon, the Queen’s Chamberlain) died, leaving Shakespeare’s company under the patronage of his son, George Carey, second Lord Hunsdon.The next year, Shakespeare bought a spacious Stratford home, known as New Place.Shakespeare continued to be notedas an actor; in 1598 he appeared in a performance of Ben Jonson’s Every Man in His Humor, and was listed as a principal actor in the London performance of the drama.Soon after, in 1599, Shakespeare and other members of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men leased land for the Glob e Theater, which opened later that year.Also in 1599, the poet John Weever published a poem (“Ad Guglielmum Shakespeare”) in which he praised Shakespeare as a poet and playwright.During this period of his life, from about 1595 through 1600, Shakespeare wrote a number of plays, including the second historical tetralogy (Richard Ⅱ [1595]; Henry Ⅳ, Part One[1596-97]; Henry Ⅳ, Part Two[1598]; and Henry ⅤRichard Ⅱ is usurped by Henry Bolingbrook and later assassinated.The new ki ng, Henry Ⅳ, worries over his role in Richard’s death and about the ability of his“madcap”son, Hal, to rule.A subplot focuses on Hal’s wild adventures with the comical knight, Sir John Falstaff.Hal becomes King Henry Ⅴafter his father’s death; he conquers France and restores peace.King John, a historical drama dealing with the reign of King John and the tragedy of the young Arthur, is estimated to have been written between 1594 and 1596. A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the famous tragedy Romeo and Juliet were probably written in 1595 or 1596. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a fantastical comedy complete with fairies and magic, deals with such topics as love, imagination, and art.One of Shakespeare’s most popular a nd well-known plays, Romeo and Juliet is the story of ill-fated lovers who attempt to escape the disapproval of their feuding families.The comedies The Merchant of Venice and The Merry Wives of Windsor are believed to have been written between 1596 and 1597.Identified by critics as a problem play (one that raises moral dilemmas which it does not resolve), The Merchant of Venice is like The Two Gentlemen of Verona in that it deals with the relationship between romantic love and masculine friendship; the play also focuses on the theme of mercy. The Merry Wives of Windsor is a farce dealing with middle class life and values; it features the knight Falstaff, who was introduced in Henry Ⅳ, Part One as Hal’s drunken and waywardng this period of Shakespeare’s life include Much Ado about Nothing (1598-1599); Julius Caesar(1599); and As You Like It(1599-1600). Much Ado about Nothing is the witty comedy featuring Beatrice and Benedick.The play is sometimes considered flawed by critics due to what they and many audiences see as the insensitive treatment of the female characters, particularly the falsely accused Hero.The Roman tragedy Julius Caesar dramatizes the downfall of the title character and examines the nature of political rivalry, ambition, and power. As You Like It depicts the beautiful Forest of Arden as a haven from the trappings of courtly life.Shakespeare also wrote several comedies during these years, including All’s Well That Ends Well (1601--Measure for Measure have both been tagged as problem plays.The first comedy ends abruptly with Bertram’s sudden acceptance of his wife Helena, whom he had essentially abandoned earlier in the play.In Measure for Measure, deception plays a central role in the play’s action; this includes the deception perpetuated by amature comedies.Like other comedies, it features some disguise and role-playing, such as that of one the central figures, Viola, who disguises herself as the page Cesario.The play also concerns gender roles and class differences.In this period Shakespeare also produced Greek and Roman dramas, including Troilus and Cressida(1601-1602); Antony and Cleopatra (1605-1607); Coriolanus (1607-1608); and Timon of Athens(1607-1608). Troilus and Cressida, a Greek drama, emphasizes the differences between the ideal and the real by portraying legendary Greek figures as people with less-than-admirable qualities. Antony and Cleopatra is the story of the love and passion between the famous Roman general and the sensuous, legendary Egyptian queen. Coriolanus is a Roman political tragedy dealing with issues of character and pride.Feelings of bitterness and disillusionment permeate the Greek drama, Timon of Athens.Shakespeare also wrote Pericles, Prince of Tyre probably between 1607 and 1608. Pericles is an adventurous tale of a prince who suffers the loss of his wife and daughter, but is, in the end, reunited with his family. Pericles is thought by some scholars to have been acollaborative effort.After 1608 Shakespeare’s dramatic production lessened somewhat.The Globe Theater bu rned down, but was rebuilt a year later on the opposite bank of the Thames River.During these years, Shakespeare wrote romantic tragicomedies (that is, romances featuring elements of both tragedy and comedy).The romantic tragicomedies include Cymbeline(1609-1610); The Winter’s Tale(1610--1611), Cymbeline and The Winter’s Tale are both stories of loss and pain, but, like Pericles, they end with a happy reunion. The Tempest features the same elements of loss and reunion, but it also emphasizes the balance of wisdom and power that Prospero achieves at the play’s end.It has been noted that The Tempest was probably the last play Shakespeare wrote on his own, and that the character of Prospero, as one who manipulates events, stages masques, and directs the actions of other characters, represents Shakespeare the playwright and his farewell to the theater.During this later period, Shakespeare also wrote two plays that most scholars believe were composed in collaboration with the dramatist John Fletcher: Henry Ⅷ(1612-1613), a historical drama, and The Two Noble Kinsmen (1613), the story1612 or 1613, Cardenio, but it has been completely lost.。

writinBRITAIN AND IRELANDThe island of Britain lies to the east of Ireland.The two are separated by the Irish Sea.The letters“UK”stand for“The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”The UK is made up of four countries.In the north is Scotland, with its capital Edinburgh.Scotland has many lakes and mountains, andWales lies to the west of England.Its capital is Cardiff.Everyone there can speak English, but the first language in North Wales is Welsh.There are Welsh newspapers.Programmes on the radio and TV are in Welsh.The countryside here is very beautiful too, with lots of mountains and rivers.There used to be a lot of coal mines in the south, but many of them have been closed, or are about to be closed.England, the larges t country in Britain, is in the southeast.Its capital is London, which is also the capital of the UK.London lies on the River Thames and has a population of seven million. Much of England is rather flat, although there are hills in the northeast and in the centre of the country.Ireland is divided into two countries.In the north, Northern Ireland, with its capital Belfast, is part of the United Kingdom.The Southern part of the island is a separate country, called the Republic of Ireland with DublinGenerally, the weather in Britain is neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer.It is colder in the north, warmer in the south, drier in the east and wetter in the west.Ireland is especially wet.In all parts of Britain it rains every month of the year; there is no“dry season”.Snow falls in Scotland every winter and sometimes in England*Question for discussion:Both passages are about the United Kingdom, but the two writers focused on different things.What are theReference for TeachingAn Introduction to the United KingdomThe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a country in western EuropCommonwealth Realm, and a member of the European Union and ually known simply as the United Kingdom or the UK, it is also often inaccurately named Great Britain, Britain or England (the most populous ofthe home nations).The UK has four constituent parts, three of which—the ancient nations of England, Wales and Scotland—are located on the island of Great Britanin.The fourth part is Northern Ireland, which is located on theThe border between Northern Ireland and the Rep ublic of Ireland forms the United Kingdom’s principal international land border, although there is also a nominal frontier with France in the middle of the Channelveral CrownThe UK was formed by a series of Acts of Union which united the Kingdom of England (which included Wales as a principality) with those of, first, Kingdom of Scotland and then Kingdom of Ireland under a single government in London.The greater part of Ireland left the United Kingdom (then called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) in 1922 to form an independent state (in which, until 1949, the King of the United Kingdom was also King of Ireland).This state later became the Republic of Ireland.Six counties in the north-eastern portion of the island, meanwhile, remained a part of the United Kingdom, forming Northern Ireland to this day.The UK is situated off the north-western coast of continental Europe, and has a land border with the Republic of Ireland, but is otherwise surrounded by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.Great Britain, or just Britain, is the geographical name of the largest of the British Isles (often also including its smaller neighboring islands, though never Ireland).Politically, the term Great Britain refers collectively to the nations of England, Wales and Scotland (i.e., the United Kingdom except for Northern Ireland).This political usage of “Great Britain” dates from the personal union of the Crowns of Scotla nd and England (including Wales) in 1603, with the term being used in the sense “all of Britain”.In the early years of the “United Kingdom of Great Britain”, formed by the Act of Union of 1707, it was customary to refer officially to Scotland and to England and Wales as, respectively, “North Britain” and“South Britain”, though the usage never really caught on.It should be noted that the practice by some, the informal media in particular, of using “(Great) Britain” as shorthand for the United Kingdom is an inaccuracy, which can cause offence.The British Isles is a term frequently used to refer to the archipelago which includes the mainland of Great Britain, the mainland of Ireland, and the smaller islands associated with these two, such as the Channel Islands, the Hebrides, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, Orkney, the Shetland Islands, etc.The term is, however, often avoided, especially in Ireland, by those who are cons cious that it is sometimes misunderstood internationally to mean “the islands belonging to Britain (i.e. the United Kingdom)”, a description out of date in the Irish case since 1922.An alternative, the Islands of the North Atlantic(IONA) has been proposed, but is little used outsideKing James ⅠBIOGRAPHYAN INFANT KING.James Charles Stuart was born on June 19, 1566 at Edin burgh Castle in Scotland.His father, Lord Darnley, was murdered in early 1567 before young James was 1 year old.His mother, Mary Queen of Scots, subsequently ascended（上升）to the Scottish throne.Her reign（统治）, however was short lived and she was forced to abdicate （退位）in favor of her son on July 24, 1567.Little James was crowned King James Ⅵ of Scotland five days laterat the tender age of 13 months.Reformation leader John Knox preached the sermon at his coronation（加冕礼）James’ mother, Mary, was imprisoned in England by her cousin Queen Elizabeth and 19 years later, in February of 1587, was executed for her part in the conspiracy（阴谋）（暗杀）QueenAnd so, like many monarchs of the time, King James was reared by neither father nor mother but rather by tutors.Of his four tutors, perhaps one of the most influential was George Buchanan, a staunch（坚定的）Calvinist.It was under Mr.Buchanan’s strict teaching methods that King James bec ame one of the most learned and intellectually curious men to ever sit on any throne. Mr. Buchanan was 64 years old when he began tutoring the young king.KING JAMES BEGINS TO REIGN IN SCOTLAND.King James began to rule his native Scotland when he was 19 years old.A few years later, he took Anne of Denmark to be his queen.King James loved his wife and wrote beautiful poetry for her.Together they had nine children.Once, when the King and Queen were out hunting, Queen Anne accidentally killed the King’s fav orite hunting dog, Jewell.The Queen felt badly about this and the King bought her a gift to ease her mind of thisKing James believed in the Divine Right of Kings and the monarch’s duty to reign according to God’s law and the public good.In order to pass on his kingly instruction to his eldest son, Prince Henry, King James wrote Basilicon Doron which means, “the Kingly Gift”.Basilicon Doron was not meant for general publication, but for the instruction of the young prince in the likely event that his father would not survive to instruct him—King James was sickly and survived a number of assassination attempts.The King bound his printer Robert Waldegrave to secrecy and ordered an edition of only seven copies.Somehow, however, intelligence of the book and its contents got abroad.Subsequently, there was so much demand for Basilicon Doron that forged（稳步前进）, corrupted copies werebestseller.ItBasilicon Doron is a short treatise（论文）, only 153 pages long.It consists of three short volumes, the first of which is “A King’s Christian Duetie towards God.”James D’israeli said, “James had formed the most elevatedIn Basilicon Doron, King James’ understanding o f Christian discipleship, style and prose are at their best.He skillfully intertwines sacred scripture with godly and Christian advice.The King offers his son this importantDiligently read his word, & earnestly...pray for the right understanding thereof.Search the scriptures saithChrist for they will bear testimony of me.The whole Scriptures saith Paul are profitable to teach, to improve, to“The whole Scripture contayneth but two things: a command and a prohibition.Obey in both...The worship ofKing James’ great aspiration to be the first King of both Scotland and England was realized in 1603 upon the death of Queen Elizabeth.When he ascended to the English throne that year he had already been king of Scotland for 36 years.He was now known as King James VI of Scotland & I of England. The king played a masterly political game and kept his kingdom out of war.For the first time a Scottish monarch wielded effective authority over the more far-flung areas of the realm（领域）.He supported literature both through his own writing and his patronage（赞助）.There was peace during his reign—both with his subjects and foreign powers.As a Scotsman ruling over the English, the King endured much racism and slander—especially from the once powerful English Lords and Ladies who he replaced with his Scottish countrymen.Unfortunately, ma ny of today’s historians look to the writings of hostile sources such as Sir Anthony Weldon and Francis Osborne as accurate descriptions of this great king.One of the king’s detractors（诽谤者）, Sir Anthony Weldon, was knighted by King James but was subsequen tly dismissed after King James found racist writings by Weldon about the King’s native Scotland.Many historians today quote Weldon as if he were a reliable his torical source. Examples of Weldon’s racism are found in his treatise entitled, “A Perfect Description of the People and Country of Scotland” where he says that the Scots are a “stinking people” who hold “fornication...but a pastime”.He also said,“...their flesh naturally abhors cleanness.Their breath commonly stinks of pottage...to be chained in m arriage with one of them, were to be tied to a dead carcass, and cast into a stinking ditch...I do wonder that...King James should be born in so stinking a town as Edinburgh in lousy Scotland.”Despite this obvious bias, historians continue to consult thethat King James had inordinate affections towards other men—but he did not do this until 25 years after King James was dead and could not defend himself.Today’s sodomite/ homosexual community is touting the King as one of their own, which he was not.These misinformed sources, virtually without exception, fail to mention that King James and his Queen had nine children together.You can read about the rumors in this article or check out an excellently researched book on the subject by Stephen Coston, Sr.entitled, King James: Unjustly Accused?“They quarrel me (not for any evil or vice in me) but because I was a king, which they thought the highest evil, and because they were ashamed to profess this quarrel they were busy to look narrowly in all my actions, and—James I, Basilicon Doron The religion was also an enemy of king James.Papists (as King James called them) attempted to assassinate him a number of times.Most notably, in 1605 Roman Catholic Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up Parliament when the king was to have been present.The conspiracy was discovered and all co-conspirators were executed.ThisJames strongly delineated the errors of Roman superstition and spurned them yet he treated Romanist subjects“He is a Protestant...the King tries to extend his Protestant religion to the whole island. The King is a bitt er enemy of our religion.He frequently speaks of it in terms of contempt.He is all the harsher because of this last11 conspiracy against his life...He understood that the Jesuits had a hand in it.”Despite his detractors, King James the Ⅵ of Scotland andⅠAs a lover of the theatre, King James became patron to the troop of one of his most famous subjects —William Shakespeare the playwright.Shakespeare’s troop came to be known as the King’s Men.Shakespeare and the King held a special relationship as they both loved literature. Shakespeare even wrote his famous play, “Macbeth”specifically for King James.Another little recognized fact is that King James the Ⅵ and Ⅰ is the founding monarch of the United States.Under his reign, we have the first successful colonies planted on the American mainland —Virginia, Massachusetts, and Nova Scotia (Latin for New Scotland) in SE Canada.The King himself ordered, wrote and authorized the Evangelistic Grant Chartercalled Virginia...in propagating of Christian religion to such people as yet live in darkness...to bring a settled and。
