Lesson Planning
Formulate the basis of a game simulating the journey along the ‘silk road’.
Teaching Outcomes:
- To examine a range of sources, piecing together reliable evidence to answer a question.
- To learn how the silk and spice trade routes linked geographically distant locations.
- To understand that natural resources are location-dependent.
Children will:
- Investigate the people who travelled the silk road, caravans, physical geography, natural hazards, robbers.
- Design a board game based on the silk road, incorporating rules, features and experiences that reflect life on the road.
