Background
Vasco da Gama is a navigator, sailor, and a Portuguese explorer. Vasco da Gama was missioned by a Portuguese king to find a maritime route from Europe to India. His successes has proved to be one of the most instrumental moments in the history of navigation. He then made two more successful voyages that dealt with Muslim attacks. Vasco da Gama has spent more than 2 years away from home, including 300 days at sea, and has traveled 24,000 miles. With these successful journeys he was named Portuguese viceroy in 1524.

The Making of Vasco da Gama's World
Day 4/21: Minecraft is still a learning process for me. But, if I need help with anything, my classmates next to me, "the professionals" will be there. Here to the left, I tried to make a maritime route from Europe to India. The red blocks is Europe and the purple blocks is India. The brown blocks are mapping the sea route that Vasco da Gama sailed through. In addition to this sea route, I tried making a house that is still under construction. I plan to make trees and flowers the next time I visit Minecraft. |
Minecraft Update: 5/10
I fly when pressing the space bar twice and I see that everyone has different ideas and creativity. Some of my peers are so used to Minecraft, that they probably already built their world before. My classmates can get super creative, like Koa Mitchell, he made his own island. I wouldnʻt have thought of that with the given space we all were given. But, I think Iʻm doing pretty good for a beginner. I made a sea route, built a house, and created a war. Still have more work to do and I canʻt wait to see how my world comes out in the end.
