Vibrant Learning at CHS

Vibrant Learning in Mr. Cronin's class! This quarter in World History, students have been working on a digital postcard/map project about Ibn Battuta and his travels and cultural experiences along the Silk Road in the 1300s. Students are researching his journals and creating ten digital postcards using ArcGIS/Storymaps (GIS=Geographic Information Systems). Each postcard features primary source, pictorial, and geographic information, in addition to highlighting the cultural exchange. (From the KY Standard: HS.WH.CE.1 Examine effects of the movement of people, cultures, goods, diseases and technologies through established systems of connection, including the Silk Roads, Trans-Saharan Trade Routes and Indian Ocean Maritime System between 1300-1450.)
