Exploring Text Structure and Relationships of Ideas - Part 5

In the essay you wrote during this lesson, you tied evidence to answer this question: Were these explorers mainly looking for personal gain or trying to advance people’s knowledge of the world?
For this assessment, you are going to narrow your focus. You will write two or three paragraphs answering this question: Did the search for wealth lead to the exploration of the Americas?
To answer this question, you will have to revisit the expeditions of Cortés, Pizarro, and Orellana. However, you will need to look at the information in these sections of the text in a new way. You will need to connect a specific cause (the search of wealth) with a specific effect (the exploration of the Americas).
To make the link from that cause to that effect, you will have to build a bridge of evidence. Use details and additional evidence from pp. 12–19 in the text to create a new Cause-and-Effect Chart. Give the chart the title Causes and Effects of Exploration of the Americas. As before, put causes in the boxes on the left. On the right, write the effect—the exploration of the Americas. Use your graphic organizer as a guide to write your paragraphs.
Plan this opinion piece like you did on the earlier one. Use the Writing Planner worksheet to plan. Be sure to include:
A strong introduction that presents your opinion on the issue,
Strong, well-organized reasons and plenty of good evidence to support them,
Transitions linking evidence,
A conclusion that effectively summarizes the information you have explained,
If you help thanks so much need it badly.
