Hey Everyone,
This week in school we are learning about Spanish explorers and every one of us got to choose an explorer. The explorer I chose is Hernando Cortes.

The poster that my sister helped me with the pictures
This is other parts of my poster
I will share with you some of the paragraphs that I wrote for my poster.
Clothes
Hernando Cortes wore a shiny armor. He also carried a gun and he had a horse to ride. If you wonder why he wore a shiny armor, well it is to protect him while he is fighting the Aztecs.
Food
Hernando Cortes ate salted pork and cassava bread. Why these foods? Beacuse these types of foods are dry and do not spoil quickly and make good travel food.
Reasons for Exploring
Hernando Cortes started exploring beacuse he was inspired by other explorers like Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci. Spain sent Hernando to find gold and land on his first day.
Transportation
Hernando Cortes rode a ship on his exploration. On the boat were over 500 soliders that were there to help Hernando Cortes on his journey .
