Today we continued our study of the Mongols/Silk Road. I began class by giving students a preview of Fridays test (some multiple choice questions that will be on the test).
We discussed the TAKE HOME part of the test (see directions below)in more detail. Students watched a dvd segment about the Mongols and the Silk Road and then completed a jigsaw they began yesterday about the Silk Road.
Silk Road Narrative Writing Assignment
This assignment is to be completed by Friday, and will count as part of your test grade for the unit on China. It is to be at least one page long.
You will be assigned a character. Using your textbook, and possibly other resources, learn about what life would be like for your character in the time period we have been studying. Your first person narrative needs to include the following information:
• Who is your character?
• What is their role in the Silk Road trade/travel?
• What goods do they trade? OR What services do they provide? OR Why are they traveling on the Silk Road?
• What sort of terrain (land) did they encounter?
• How do their interactions on the Silk Road relate to their personal lives?
• What obstacles do they encounter along the way?
• Include an interesting account of something that happens to them along the way.
Your first person narrative can take the form of a story. It can be the thoughts of your character after they’ve completed the long, hard journey of the silk road.
