I overall enjoyed the map portion of the silk road project.
1) 3 things that went well
---- Picking items to represent on the map.
---- Any class time spent ended up being very productive
---- The partner collaboration
2) 3 Things you weren't happy with
---- Our end product
---- Our scale
---- Overall weather whilst doing this project
3) What was hard/difficult about this project?
---- Doing the research for goods not represented in the book.
---- Figuring out a scale
---- The time crunch
4) Collaboration
---- Very good :)
5) What would you do differently if you had to do it again?
---- I would take less time trying to actually perfect the map, and more time trying to map out the trade routes accurately. I would also get my scale right the first time.
Was the collaboration a success because of the person you worked with, or because it was collaboration? (hi Futaba...) What made the research hard? Was it a lack of sources, the fact you chose obscure items that there wasn't information for?
ReplyDeletePartly because of who I worked with (Futaba and I just hate eachother... obviously). But we work well together, it was a good collaboration where both of us did our part, communicated well, etc.
ReplyDeleteThe research was hard I guess because I just picked a bad agricultural product. Every website I went to told me that Cinnamon was very popular silk road... but that was as far as the description went. The book didn't even mention cinnamon. So I guess that was my bad.
btw the whole "hate eachother thing" was sarcasm. Just making sure that reads through correctly.
