Hello,

I am Miss Johnson, your student's teacher for World History and the creator of this Wiki. Your student has recently been learning about the Silk Road in class. This is a series of trade routes across the Asian continent that existed roughly from 330 B.C.E. until 1400 C.E. The Silk Road was very important during these years trading a wide variety of goods, people, and ideas between Asia, Africa, and Europe. With this Wiki, your student will write a memoir as if he or she were an item being carried along the Silk Road. I decided to use a Wiki to guide students through the assignment because it will provide them with more individual assistance (than if I were to just be teaching the class as a whole) and it will allow students to read through the assignment and various tips at their own pace. Furthermore, there is a Q & A page where your student can ask classmates for advice as well as help other students with their questions. Overall, this Wiki will provide your student with an abundant amount of resources and guidance to complete this assignment and I look forward to reading what your child's finished memoir.

Best regards,

Miss Johnson
