We have been working on the Silk Road cross-curricular activity for the last week. Students were split up into different cities/countries along the Silk Road, they were asked to create the goods that came from that region. They were then asked to trade with neighbouring countries to get more goods. This is what happened during the time of the Renaissance. Students have been completing questions following that activity. 8-26 has read the story in class and 8-22 will be reading the story following answering the questions. There is an journal writing activity following the story that we will begin next week.
