Ferdinand Magellan
In this quarter 4, We had an assignment to choose one of the explorer. We need to explain about the explorer, the fact about him, the background about him, create a diary for 5 section, evaluate about the explorer, construct a map for the explorer voyage, comparing the positive effect and negative effect of the explorer to the world.
Name: Ferdinand Magellan
Country of Birth/nationality: Portugal (Resources said he was born either Sabrosa or Oporto, Northern Portugal)
Date of Birth: 1480
Date of Death: 1521
Lifespan: 1480 - 1521 (He was killed in a tribal war with the Philippines)
Family: His parents were Pedro Ruy de Magalhaes and Alda de Mezquita, were members of the nobility of Portugal (they were wealthy and powerful).
Education:Tutored at the Court of Portugal. As a young member of Queen Leonora's School of Pages in Lisbon (the Portuguese capital) Magellan was encouraged to learn subjects that would aid him greatly later, such as cartography (mapmaking), astronomy, and celestial navigation (learning how to steer a ship based on the positions of the stars).
Occupation: Sailor, He is a Portuguese sailor. Early in his career, Magellan sailed to India and to the Far East many times via Africa's Cape of Good Hope. He sailed for his native Portugal, but a dispute with the Portuguese King Manoel II turned him against the Portuguese. Thereafter, He worked for King Charles V of Spain
Childhood:Ferdinand Magellan was born in Oporto, Portugal, in 1480. His parents were members of the Portuguese nobility, and the young Magellan found himself in the service of royalty at an early age. His parents died when he was 10 years old. He was only twelve when he began serving the queen of Portugal as a page, a position of employment for youths in royal courts. As a young member of Queen Leonora's School of Pages in Lisbon (the Portuguese capital) Magellan was encouraged to learn subjects that would aid him greatly later, such as cartography (mapmaking), astronomy, and celestial navigation (learning how to steer a ship based on the positions of the stars).
I did well in this project by collecting reliable data and accurate data about the chosen explorer. I collect from accurate website and book. I could improve by collecting more specific data about the chosen explorer and explain the chosen more about his life.
