This week, follow the links under your trade route.
Read about your trade and choose two "objects" (pictures, paintings, artifacts) associated with your trade route.
Write a paragraph giving context, history and meaning to each "object," and explain how it helps us understand your trade route. (You are telling a story that connects your "object" with the history of your trade route).
