Christopher read a passage about trade routes of the ancient world, with a focus on the Silk Road. We reviewed subject-specific terminology (e.g., merchants), and Christopher underlined the most important details in the passage. He was shown a map and, using a pencil, traced the routes through the Middle East and Africa that connected Asian trade with Europe through the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, he answered open-ended questions and completed two hands-on activities to reinforce and consolidate newly acquired learning gains using different modalities to help concretize his skills. The work is displayed on Christopher’s bulletin board.
