OVERVIEW MAP OF IMPORTANT ENTREPOTS Introductory Activity II: HISTORIC MAPS The artifact box activity should show the inter-connectedness of cultures and some exchange of goods. It should raise questions about the actual geography. Where are we? Who were these people? What did they know? The historic maps gives students the opportunity to examine Greco-Roman perceptions of the “shape of the world.” (Note to the teacher: these maps are reconstructions made 1,200 to 1,300 years later during the Renaissance. They are based on the written descriptions by Greek and Roman geographers, historians, astronomers, and travelers.) Classifying Maps Have students sit in eight cooperative groups. Distribute sets of photocopied maps (A through H) to each group. After examining and discussing the maps, ask groups to classify the maps. They can put them in chronological order, by geographic accuracy, or by any other logical system. Ask them to justify their decisions. (
