Silk Road Simulation

Anne Koschmider

Hi folks! Although the 1200 course is the main source for my curriculum this year, I just wanted to highlight an activity from Era 4 of the Origins course that worked really well in the Global Tapestry unit. My students had so much fun with the Silk Road Simulation! It was a great way to get students up and moving while learning the content. 

I made this slide deck to guide us through the activity step by step. The regions and zones on the hidden slides were printed and posted around the room. 

Has anyone else blended other materials into Unit 2? I'd love to hear your ideas!

  •  , I love seeing this! Thanks for sharing the slides!

    I've taught Origins for several years, but I've never done this simulation because it seems to fall in a place where my students are "so over" the Silk Road. I've thought about moving it to Era 3 to fit in with the long-distance trade networks lesson or the beginning of Era 4 as a "bridge" activity from Era 3. 

    Has anyone from Origins played around with the placement of this activity?
