Help please.

In this journal activity, you will write your own version of history for the period between 1450 and 1750 by answering the questions below. In your responses, use your own words and be as clear as possible. You will be graded primarily on the completeness and clarity of your writing.
Terms:
Age of Exploration
global trade

Directions:
First, think of a creative or descriptive name for this time period. For example, you might call the period before the development of agriculture "Life Before Farming" or "Hunting to Survive." Make this name the title of your journal entry.
Write a journal entry that is at least three paragraphs long. Each paragraph should be at least four sentences long. Make sure to use the terms listed above at least once in your writing. Your journal entry should address each of the following:
Summarize the major turning points or "game changers" of this period; what were the biggest changes in how people lived, what people were able to do, or what people valued and believed?
Identify the major regions of the world in which these changes occurred.
Predict the major effects of these changes on human history. What effects might we see in the eras that followed this time period? What effects can we still see or feel today?

I have a title and that is it. T-T

Answer: The Age of Major Discoveries

in the 15th century countries of the European Continent started using gunpowder cannons and oceangoing ships to conquer land and it worked. gunpowder was invented by Chinese alchemists in the ninth century, and it was soon put to use in fireworks, bombs, rockets, and cannons. But while these new weapons terrified enemy soldiers, they didn’t kill all that many of them. Warfare remained largely a business of arrows, swords, and axes. It would be another 500 years before gunpowder weapons reached the point of development that their lethality dominated the battlefield and the boom of guns replaced the clash of steel as the ambient noise of war. This changed how many people lived in a positive and negative effect. Peoples land that got colonized obviously negatively effected but it was great for the people who colonized. and the effects of the cannon and gun poweder still live with land being other peoples.

i didnt really write in a correct format but i hope this helps :) just divide the sentences into a paragraph every 4 - 5 sentences and you should be good
