Modern Trade Activity
Students in Room A-4 today experienced firsthand what it is like to trade, barter, and bargain as they participated in both "modern" and "ancient" types of trade. Students had previously read about a man who traded a paperclip for a house and then reenacted this concept by bringing a small token from home--from Pokemon cards to bracelets to personalized drawings--to trade with their classmates. Then, students researched Marco Polo and his travels along the Silk Road and created a one pager on Marco Polo describing his experience. Finally, students created an animated map of a pretend Silk Road journey they took to trade with Arabia, Africa, and the Roman Empire (Coming soon...)!
