In the Classroom

Draw and analyze ancient trade routes and discuss what goods were traded and how geography influenced commerce. Have students label key rivers, cities, and regions. Assign groups to research cities or regions on the map and present their findings. Discuss how the rivers influenced agriculture, led to the invention of irrigation, or caused environmental challenges.
