O'Connell Day Five - Final Touches!

Day Five

On Day 5, the group wrapped up their history exploration project. A few of Mrs. O'Connell's students still had to finish their drawings for the IMovie. When the drawings were finished, Nate scanned in the pictures. Then, everyone worked together to choose background music for the movie. The kids eventually decided to use the song "Loca" by Shakira. Now, they've finished their movie, and soon we'll all be able to see it and learn about exploration!

Papadakes's Class Final Script!

Here is the final script of the play:

Raevyn (not a reporter, just a student): (looks at “that was easy” button) Hmm. I wonder what this does. (presses button. “that was easy”)…. whoa cool. (all of a sudden transports). What just happened…. (looks around and sees Anthony bent over in pain)… Woah, who are you? And why do you look so hurt?

Anthony: Well I’m Anthony. And I have scurvy.

Raevyn: Scurvy? What’s that?

Anthony: Well, scurvy is a disease you get when you don’t have any Vitamin C. And I was a shipmate on Magellan’s boat when he went on his voyage around the world. We had no fruits or vegetables on board, so I got scurvy. Now my gums are rotting and my teeth are falling out!

Raevyn: Wow that’s terrible! Sounds like there was some crazy stuff that happened on that boat!(cut to pictures of ships, and Ben and Skylar voice over about the ships??)

There were a total of 5 ships consisting of Magellan himself as captain and around 250 crewman and sailors . Over the course of the trip, many of his men died of starvation and had the disease scurvy. Magellan himself was killed by natives at one point, but his crew continued their quest for spices. They eventually reached India and they obtained cinnamon and clovers. Only one ship made it back to Spain and 18 men survived the 3 year round-world trip.

(cut to bradyn and Carter)

Carter: Spices were a very important part of Magellan’s journey. One of his ships brought home a cargo full of pepper and cinnamon.

(confetti falling on them): THAT’S A LOT OF SPICES!!!

Britney: Magellan also used salt to preserve his meats on the ship, so that they wouldn’t spoil.

(cut to Britney): speaking of food, Magellan and his crew had to eat a lot of bad things, like biscuits with worms in them, leather, and dead rats. (a bunch of dead rats fall from the sky)

Bradyn: But one time, when Magellan landed on the Phillipines, something bad happened

Carter: Magellan got involved in a local political dispute, and he was killed by natives. (killing scene)

Raevyn: wow! a lot of crazy things happened on Magellan’s ship! wait…. what’s that? (presses another button and transports back)… woah.. that was weird. (walks away)
