*INCLUDE THE ROUTE AND A FEW OF THE MAJOR CITIES

2. Each group compares its trade route with a topographical map and consider why the route was chosen (for example, to use mountain passes, go down rivers, and skirt deserts).

3. Assess the difficulties a merchant might encounter on his route (high mountain passes, snow, ice, lack of water, heat, thieves, tolls, and so on). What type of clothing might be needed if the merchant were to travel the entire route? Would he have to set out at a certain time of year to avoid spring thaws, floods, winter storms, excessive heat, or other weather factors?

4. Note major cities along each route. What is it about the location of such cities that encouraged their growth?
