This is a Gallery of pictures and paintings of Ferdinand Magellan:
Hi, my name is Caroline and I picked Ferdinand Magellan as my explorer. He is from northern Portugal. His major accomplishment was circumnavigating the globe. Ferdinand Magellan got into a fight and died before he sailed all the way around the globe, but his crew finished sailing around the globe to honor him. His journey proved that the Earth is round. In order for Ferdinand Magellan to accomplish his goal he had to ask the King of Portugal to sponsor or support his journey but he turned him down and said NO! Next he asked the King of Spain if he would sponsor or support his journey and the King of Spain was delighted to hear of such a journey.
The King of Spain was happy to help with his journey. The King of Spain helped Magellan because Spain was looking for a shorter water route to Asia. One thing that Ferdinand Magellan struggled accomplishing was finding a crew or some sailors to go with him on his journey, but eventually he found some. After he found a crew he went on the journey to circumnavigate the globe. Then while they were sailing they met some natives and got into a fight (this is when Ferdinand Magellan died). Some things I have learned from Ferdinand Magellan are to never give up, and to follow my dreams because even though Ferdinand Magellan did not actually circumnavigate the globe, his crew did. One could tell that he NEVER gave up on his dream or goal. He always kept going no matter what happened. He tried until his death, and his crew had his same determination. I think that all students at Southeast Bulloch Middle School should strive to follow their dreams and accomplish their goals.
