5th Grade Example
The students had to research a particular explorer and identify the particular needs that explorer had for one of their expeditions. They were then to choose an audience to convince them into funding or providing items for their trip.
Dear King Louis XIV,
As you may or may not know, I am Sieur de La Salle formally known as Rene-Robert de La Salle and I would like you to think about a journey I had in mind. I want to find a direct route through North America to the pacific Ocean that you can use to get your men to Asia.
I heard while I was trading with the Indians that they think that two rivers flowed into the sea. They are in the southwest, near the Pacific Ocean. You might think that they are lying to a poor French fellow but mind you I went to search for rivers in 1669 and rivers I found, but I sold my land and I hope you will give me a place to set up a trading post so you can make money. I will make you more rich and famous than any other King and a much better King than any before you.You will be loved.
I need weapons so when my men land they will be protected from anything that might hurt them. To keep all of my men sound I would like you to please provide us with a ship of all vital supplies as well. I hope that with a whole ship of vital supplies such as medicine, extra bullets and food, and land markers to show all people that France owns the land I claim I will be able to start a whole new settlement.
This will help the kingdom because a direct route to and from Asia means that France won't lose as many spices en-route. We will be able to charge other Kingdoms to pass though a passage to make even more money. All the nobles will be so rich you will have to add another wing to the castle just for your gold and silver. Everyone in years to come will love the good you have done for the kingdom and your name will be said with love and hope.
This will also help the kingdom become a larger kingdom because any land I see on the way through the Americas will be France's land! We will get bigger and farther spread until we can overthrow all the other kingdoms and everyone will be french so there will be no more you could ever want.
While I know you can make all these dreams come true I hope that you keep in mind that I don't have land and as someone settling for a King as great as you are should have land to call his own.
Consideration and Money is all I Need,
Sieur de La Salle
