For much of human history, knowledge of the ocean and its currents was not recorded for many reasons - most sailors could not write and information was passed orally.. European nations began systematic ocean explorations but kept information secret between the 15. Sketch Castaway Island. Show how waves impact your island. Sketch Castaway Island. We are going to watch a short clip from the movie Castaway (2000) and I am going to ask you to draw a simple sketch of the island as you saw it in the movie.. The Earth is Spinning….
