Look at the pictures about the Silk Road and discuss what you might experience as a trader in ancient times. As a trader, I might travel with a large group of traders to stay safe on the long journey. I might need to cross deserts, mountains, and rivers. That would be very hard. But I could also make new friends from different countries along the way. Sometimes, I might still be on a journey early in the morning and late at night. I might ride a camel or a horse across the desert. The sun is hot during the day, and the night is very cold. I might face sandstorms or get lost. But I can follow the stars or ask local people for help. Activity 1 Pair work. Look at the pictures about the Silk Road and discuss what you might experience as a trader in ancient times.
