Columbus & Cabot went on journeys
to find a new route to the indies ant to find some resorces loke spices & silk, they also wanted to find land & create colonies. Merchants payed for Columbuses & cabots trip because when Columbus & Cabot came back they might get money if Columbus & Cabot succeed.One of Columbus's goals were to prove the world was round. But there was one last reason that they both had in mind... and it was to be rich & famous!

Cabot and Colombus went on these breath taking journeys.
Some of the reasons are ........

To find new routes to differnt places

To find resorceful stuff like silk and spices

To find new lands and create colonies.

All of these things will lead to sucess and money, these explorers probably wouldn't went on these jourrneys if they wouldn't get rich and famous.

I think Christopher Columbus and John Cabot went on their journeys because they wanted to find things like new land (Indies) to make colonies on, with silk and spices like cinnamon to send home. They also did it for the merchants, they wanted the merchants to get money. Christopher Columbus wanted also to prove the world was round. But mostly they wanted in on the fame and fortune.

Cabot and Columbus went on these journeys to find new routes to The Indies, or find new lands to create colonies. They also wanted to find resources like silk and spices, and helped merchants by giving them money. they hoped that they would prove that the earth was round, and trade things with the new land that they had found. They wanted to be rich and famous, too.

John Cabot and Christopher Columbus were great explorers who went on journeys because they were interested on finding new routes to the Indies, wanting to colonize the lands that they would discover and to find silk and spices. But most of all they want to be famous.

Dear Captain Cabot
I just read your article in the England newspaper and I think I am suitable to come with you on your journey to the Indies. I am very strong, so I will be good at climbing the rope ladders on your ship,the "Matthew". I am a bright person and I like risky adventures because they're usually challenging. I will be suitable to steer the boat or stay on the crows nest because I have very good eyesight. Some personality traits are that I am brave, kind, and a lot of people say I'm fun to be around. I'd like to be famous and I'm a good listener so I follow instructions well. I am a fast thinker so if something is wrong, I know what to do. I would like to set sails, but I'm good at fishing and I like to have fun! Oh, I also have a postive attitude.

Yours truly,

Pirate Pete

Dear John Cabot
I saw your England newspaper article. I would appreciate if you could let me be on your ship because I would be a great rope climber. I could patch the sails because my dad calls me a monkey when I climb the tree in my back yard. I would be good at patching because I have sewed a pillow and a scarf before.
I also always work hard to get my homework done. I am smart because I get good grades and I like Social Studies, Science and Math. I would be the best ship mate,

yours truly No Beard

Dear Captain Cabot,

I just read the article on the shipmate. I think I could be a shipmate because I can stay up most of the night. I have gone to sleepovers and stayed up most the night. I have very good eye sight so I could be a lookout man in the crow's nest. My good math skills would be helpful in calculating distances in navigation. My good spirit and fun personality would help entertain my other fellow shipmates. I like to explore new places because I am adventurous. From playing hockey I am tough and brave. I think I would make an excellent shipmate for you.

Dear John Cabot,

I just read your article in the England news. It is such an honour to be writing to you to take this opportunity of a life time! I think I am a suitable to go on this ship voyage because I am a brave, enthusiastic person. I am in Hyack Swimming level Olympic way white so if any one drowns I could save them.

I have a terrific sense of eye-sight so a job that I can do is watching on top of the crows nest aboard.I also can prepare food because I enjoy cooking and I've been helping prepare food with my mom since I was 6 so I've been cooking for 4 years that is a long time.
