FERDINAND MAGELLAN
ME AND MY CHICKENS
MY JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD
2
Why did I go?
While I was in the service of the Spanish King
and Queen, I tried to find a westward route to
the Spice Islands of Indonesia. I would be
rewarded if I found the westward route. I was
funded by the Spanish Crown and I left on August
10, 1519. With five ships under my command (270
crew members) Trinidad, San Antonio,
Concepción, Victoria, and Santiago we left
Seville and travelled from the Guadalquivir River
to Sanlúcar de Barramed.

Im Ferdinand Magellan and Tommy chose me because

• I was the first person to sail around the world.
  I didnt actually make it as I died in the Battle
  of Mactan.
• I wasnt scared of falling off the world that
  everyone thought was flat.
• I spent three years on a boat that was very
  challenging.
• I have a cool beard.
• Everybody else in his class was doing that nerd
  Christopher Columbus.

I LIKE CHICKENS

The skills I needed for my journey around the
world

• I had to be a good sailor and not get seasick,
  like this poor fella.
• I had to be good at working with others, like my
  crew.
• I had to be good at giving out fair rations to my
  crew.
• I had to have good map reading skills and be able
  to use a compass

SUPER CHICKEN

The obstacles I faced during my journey.

• The weather was very tough as it was changing
  frequently throughout my journey.
• Scurvy among the crew was a problem because of
  malnutrition. I was also very tired at times
  throughout my journey. Many of my crew died as a
  result of scurvy but I saved as many as I could.
• I had to make difficult decisions as the route
  we were trying to find had never been discovered
  before.
• I had to ration my food to my crew as there was
  very little.

ITS A TURKEY! GET HIM
HMM

Conclusion

• Ferdinand Magellan became the first person to
  lead an expedition across the Pacific Ocean. This
  was also the first successful attempt to
  circumnavigate the Earth in history. Although he
  did not complete the entire voyage (he was killed
  during the Battle of Mactan in the Philippines).
  He was also the first European to reach the place
  which is now known as the Philippines, which was
  unknown to the west of the world before his
  discovery.
