Medieval Europe - Marco Polo - Childhood and Early Travels

Marco Polo: The Boy Who Traveled the Medieval World by Nick McCarty

Discussion:
Marco Polo grows up in Venice
Marco's father and uncle travel throughout Asia and the Middle East
Why travel took so long back then

Activity:
History journal
Blank map of Europe and Asia (need to print it full size or this is pointless) - mark important stops on Niccolo and Maffeo's trip, and their route from Venice to Mongolia and back; learn/review important regions, rivers, and mountains in northern Asia and the Middle East
