Description
This biography of the 16th century Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan focuses on his attempt to circumnavigate the globe in the service of the Spanish crown. The biography details the terms of the Treaty of Tordesillas, which theoretically divided the globe between Spain and Portgual, Magellan's death in the Philippines, and the impact the crew's successful circumnavigation had on future exploration.
The biography includes a series of questions based on the reading.
In using this in my own class room, students are encouraged to:
