For the last quarter on World History, we are studying on the Age of Explorations.
The assignment was to create a journal or diary of the chosen explorer. The explorer I did is Christopher Columbus. He was known for discovering "the new world". Columbus was born in 1451, in the republic of Genoa (Italy), In his teenage life, he had participated in various trading voyages in the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea. At that time, the only was to reach Asia (India) is to sail along the west Africa coasts. Although, Columbus have a difference idea. He faulty though that the world was way smaller than it was believed to be. He suggests his ideas to the officials to offers him with ships. Although, the officials of Portugal and England did not listen to Columbus. However, the Spain monarchs, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile listened. Christopher was given with 3 ships (the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria) and some crews. After long trip sailing west through Atlantic Ocean, Columbus and his crews had spotted land on October 12. He found natives people, but he called his red Indians, Christopher thought that it was the Asia continent. He had traded some fruits such as tomatoes, potatoes and pineapples with the native. Although, he had killed many natives due to their resistance for telling him where they get those golds. Even Christopher didn't discover faster route to Asia, and he didn't discover America. Although, his exploration was a head start for other explorer to keep exploring on the "new continent" for decades. This project pace me towards being strategic learners. By comprehension skill and being creative. Even there are work logs to keep in track with my work, though, due to my bad time management, I had to rushed for the last few days before the due date. This assignment was fun and challenging, I never did something like this before. I hope that I could do the project better ,because we're very busy, theres a lot of other final projects for other subjects. . . . . . I forgot to take the photos of my project.... I'll add it later
