Silk Road Project
The Silk Road project was a fun experience, a more hands-on way to approach learning about mapping and the Silk Road. It was a little hard, but once you put your mind ont it, it wasn't bad. Three things I liked were the instructions were mostly clear, the information was easy to find, and it wasn't a very complex map. I was not happy about the scale, the necessary points, and how large the map was. Making a scale was hard, but not terrible. The colloboration was ok, it didn't effect me much. What I would do differently is have everyone make their own smaller map instead of a huge one.

Why would the size of the map paper make the scale easier? What about the instructions weren't clear? (interested for future assignments...)

The only unclear thing with the instructions was if we were supposedmto illustrate the different things, such as how the items travelled, or if we were to write them, such as write "travelled by...".
