La Relacion 40 min non fiction

This letter talked about how on the first Saturday in May the Governor ordered that were going out to look for land for him received two pounds of biscuits and a half pound of bacon. They were departing inland taking a total of 300 men. Out of those 300 men forty of them rode on horses. They traveled two weeks with provisions, finding nothing to eat except palmettos like the ones in Andalusia. They didn't find any Indians or settlements during that time. After that they reached a river which they crossed with lots of difficulty. Once they crossed it though they saw about four hundred indians plus or minus. After that the Governor went up to them and spoke to them in signs. The indians told them they had to fight them so they captured five or six of them and headed on there way. They took them to their lodges where there was lots of corn. On the third day after they brought them there they asked the governor too send a party s they could look for a coast and maybe find a port. He let him and forty other men go on foot. They walked until midday and then they reached the sandbanks by the sea. They walked about a league in water that came up to their knees. After much more though they arrived where they had wanted finding lots of gold and food.

    Hi Natalie,
    It is cool to see you do a non-fiction summary, was that from Mr. Knarr's class? your are up-to-date with your entries and your summaries and now your vocabulary sections are in good shape, what you need to work on are your reflections...These are an opportunity to develop your opinions. Ask yourself how you liked the writing and why; what connections did you make with what you read and how does this relate to your life, compare and contrast, dig in yourself for what you might need to clarify or ask about to understand what the author is saying. Also, start answering the HLTQ that I give once a week. Thanks, Ms. M

    Hi Natalie,
    Your caught-up and defining your vocab words yet, like I said in the last comment, you need to develop your reflections and shorten you summaries. Also, just start the blog without, "What happens next...", to make your writing less monotonous. 12/12 83%
