LT: We can analyze information about an explorer and synthesize important life events of the explorer into a Facebook Profile

List as many possible reasons/motives for exploration that you can think of… Spices in Asia Gold, silver, precious stones Expand knowledge of the world Control a larger empire (resources) Spread Christianity Animal furs/fish Adventure

Interest in spread of Christianity Sense of adventure; build empires Obtain riches; demand for products was so high that there was great profit to be had

ACTION! “Gold, God, Glory”

Portugal: Bartolomeu Dias Vasco da Gama Spain: Christopher Columbus Juan Ponce de Leon Ferdinand Magellan

Sailed around Cape of Good Hope at southern tip of Africa. Found route to Indian Ocean Trade can go from Europe to Asia by sea

Landed in India in 1498 Important trade route from Europe to India and East Indies.

His crew made first round-the-world voyage. Proved for certain that the world was round. Magellan was killed in the Phillippines, did not make it home.

Believed a shorter route to Asia could be found by sailing westward instead of around Africa. Found the Americas instead. Oops.

Sailed an expedition for Spain in search of the mythical fountain of youth Instead, found Southeast Coast of North America Founded the oldest colony in Puerto Rico Florida!

Portugal believes Columbus has reached Asia Tension between Spain/Portugal Treaty of Tordesillas Divides world in two. West of line to Spain, east to Portugal

You get to choose an explorer and make a Facebook profile for that explorer. You will need to do some research first, and complete the Graphic Organizer as a rough draft. Once I see your rough draft, you will get your Facebook template to begin making the final draft. You will have the rest of today, tomorrow, and half of Friday to finish the project. We will have a gallery walk the second half of Friday.

Pay close attention to how many examples are required for each section. Some color is required! You may draw or print pictures.

There are a limited number of each explorer. Think of a few you would be willing to do. Your options are: Ferdinand Magellan Vasco da Gama Christopher Columbus Juan Ponce de Leon Leif Eriksson Amerigo Vespucci Hernando de Soto John Cabot
