Now that you are familiar with the major trade routes- How about some Medieval Explorers?
1. Zheng He: Crash Course (Just the thought bubble 2:00-4:00)
2. Marco Polo: Biography
3. Ibn Battuta: Graphic from textbook below-
Also- Here is a bunch of links about all 3: Mister Dann's
I know...what about Columbus??...He's a little later- Considered part of the Renaissance!
Your job this week is to learn about these 4 explorers- Some things to look for:
1. Which trade route did they travel on? Why were they traveling?
2. What were the names of their books? (First hand accounts of travels-Primary sources!)
3. What type of impact did they have on the Medieval cities they visited? What do their travels tell us about these cities and History in general?
Wednesday we may add 1 more explorer- and there will be questions about these three you will have to answer! So good luck! Email me with any questions!!
