The Silk Road

Please use the following article to gain background knowledge of The Silk Road.  Don't forget about the recording of the reading at the bottom of the page.

Based on what you read, gather images of the products collected along the Silk Road that would have been brought back to Eastern Europe and organize them in a list ranging from greatest to least value (use your own judgement and consider quantities!).  You should work with a minimum of five products.

Use Britannica ImageQuest for your images.

Next, consider online shopping sites like Amazon.  How is the revolution of online shopping similar to The Silk Road?  Which one had more impact on society and its worldview?  Complete the graphic organizer (paper version from Stafford or electronic version - download, fill it in and print it) to show your thinking.
