Silk Road Project

Three things that I believe went well for this project were that me and my partner worked well together and tried to the best of our abilities to make the map as neat and detailed as we could. Another thing I thought went well was how my group scaled our map and that it made it much easier to trace the smaller map onto the large paper afterward. And the last thing thst I thought went well was that this project gave me a real idea of how large and difficult to travel on these roads would have been for merchants and all of the problems they had to overcome. Three things that i disliked about this project was that me and my partner drastically ran low on time by the last day and tried our best but were not able to make the map look as neat as we could have. Another thing I disliked was that I could not find a good map of the Roman empire in correspondence to the Silk Road, and was not able to accurately depict it on the map. The last thing I disliked about this project was how little information about the exports the book had but it was easy to find additional information on the internet. I believe collaboration was very good between me and my partner. I believe the only difficult part of this project was the short amount of time to make the maps we had and if I coild redo tuis project i would bring the map home over the weekendand work on making it more detailed and neat.

  1. More time is always a good thing. How would you divide it though if you were working on it at home so that both partners could equally participate?
