How to Write an Essay on the Exploration Age

    • 1). Research your topic thoroughly to understand the basics of the Exploration Age. Do this using online resources and books at your local library.

    • 2). Begin with an introductory paragraph that highlights your overall essay. In your essay you will need to cover the people of the Exploration Age, the resulting geographic cultivation, the economic reasoning behind it and why it is important to study even now.

    • 3). Use the first section of your essay to discuss the people of the Exploration Age. Narrow it down to two or three very important people such as Columbus or Vasco da Gama. Elaborate on why these people were important.

    • 4). Discuss the geographic changes that resulted from this Age. For example, North America was found and conquered during this time, as was the Aztec empire and much of Africa. Explain why this was important.

    • 5). Discuss the economic attitudes at the time of the Exploration Age. As new lands were found and cultivated, new trade routes were opened.

    • 6). Discuss in your essay why this time was so important for trade. Begin a conclusion paragraph to summarize your essay.
