Portuguese Explorers

Hey everyone. Yesterday we discussed the various motivations of European explorers, the new technology that explorers used aboard their Portuguese caravels, and the living conditions on the boats.

For homework, you are a Portuguese sailor who is writing home to your family. You must describe to them why you are going, new tools that you are using, and your conditions on the boat. Please do not restate information from class. Give these people personality and describe how you believe a Portuguese sailor may have felt on a voyage.

Email me with any questions. Have a great night!
