Claim: During the 1400s people liked to explore the world. ***(Hint: What do you need to know about the who, what, when, and where of the event?) Background: If people did not explore the world, we would not know as much as we do now. Background evidence #1 Back then, spices were very important. Background evidence #2 Ships got improvements. Background evidence #3 Technology helped them a lot with sailing across the world. *** (Hint: evidence is the why or how of a claim) Remember to use transition words before each piece of evidence. Supporting evidence: First, back then, a lot of things were traded. They traded things like pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, lemons, and many other things. Lemons were traded because they helped with the disease called scurvy. These spices were traded, because they were very rare at the time. Supporting evidence: Second, we have learned about the Portuguese and how they sailed. The Portuguese sailed on a boat across the ocean to Asia. We have mainly learned about them because of exploration. Third, as people would be sailing, they would have to stay right along the course the entire way. With technology and accurate maps, they would not half to do that and they would get to their destination faster. Supporting evidence: Third, advances in technology possible. Sailors use the astrolabe and the compass to find routes to far away places. More accurate maps allowed sailors to sail from port to port without having to stay right along the course the entire way (Great Voyages of Discovery, 15/12/15).

Remember to use the tag: The evidence Analysis: Back then, a lot of spices were traded. Things like, cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and lemons. Lemons were traded because they helped with the disease called scurvy. These spices were traded, because they were very rare at the time. Analysis: During that time, ships started getting built better. Instead of having square sails, they made triangular sails. The sails made the ships a lot better. It also helped when they sailed around the world. Analysis: Third, as people would be sailing, they would have to stay right along the course the entire way. With technology and accurate maps, they would not half to do that and they would get to their destination faster. The map would give an easier, faster, and more clear trail. ***** (Hint: Now that you ve made and supported your claim, how will you tie the evidence and the analysis back to the claim? Answer the so what question.) Remember only one statement. Response to claim: In conclusion, exploring helped us a lot back then.

3 Great Voyages of Discovery Why did people seek to explore the world in the 1400s? First, they wanted Asian spices. Italy and Egypt controlled the trade routes to Asia, charging very high prices for spices. As a result, many countries wanted to find a direct sea route that led to Asia. This way they could get spices without having to buy from Italian or Egyptian traders. Religion gave explorers another reason to set sail. European Christians wanted to convert more people to their religion to counteract the spread of Islam in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Advances in technology made exploration possible. Sailors use the astrolabe and the compass to find routes to faraway places. More accurate maps allowed sailors to sail from port to port without having to stay right along the course the entire way. Other advances came in shipbuilding. The Portuguese began building ships called caravels. Caravels used triangular sails, that unlike traditional square sails, allowed ships to sail against the wind. By replacing oars on the ship s sides with rudders at the back of the ship, the Portuguese also greatly improved steering. The new caravels help Portugal take the lead in the European Age of Exploration. Prince Henry the Navigator was responsible for much of Portugal s success on the seas. He built an observatory and a navigation school to teach sailors how to find their way on long ocean voyages. Some Portuguese sailors sailed south along the coast of Africa. In 1498 Vaxo da Gama sailed around Africa and landed on the west coast of India. A sea route to Asia had been found. An Italian sailor, Christopher Columbus, thought he had already figured out a shorter way to Asia-sailing west across the Atlantic. He told the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella his plan and promised them riches, new territory, and Catholic converts if they funded his journey. Isabella agreed. In August 1492 Columbus set sail with 88 men and three small ships. On October 12, he and his crew landed on an island in the Bahamas. Columbus believed he had reached Asia. He didn t realize the continent of North America lay in front of him. A Portuguese explorer later discovered South America by accident while trying to sail around Africa. Then, in 1519, Ferdinand Magellan led a voyage around South America s southern time. He continued sailing into the Pacific even though his ships were low on food and water. Although Magellan was killed before he could complete the voyage, his crew became the first to circumnavigate, or go all the way around the globe. Spanish explorers called the Americas the New World. When they arrived in these lands in the early 1500s, the Aztec Empire in México and the Inca Empire in Peru were at the height of their powers. The Spanish saw these empires as good sources of gold and silver. They also wanted to convert the native peoples to Christianity. Having better weapons, the Spanish quickly conquered the Aztecs and Incas. The Spanish also brought new diseases that over time killed possibly three-quarters of the native peoples. Soon, Spain ruled large parts of North and South America.
