Today in class we started the Explorers VoiceThread Project. You will need to have VoiceThread and an account (free) for this project. If you did not download the app today, please do so tonight. The project is described here. You were all assigned roles in class; if you don't remember, please let me know ASAP!
For tonight, you should work on the VoiceThread project and read about Marco Polo (pg. 567), Rabban Sauma (pg. 571) Ibn Battuta (pg. 571), Admiral Zheng He (pg. 585-586). There will not be a quiz on this reading, as it all relates to your project.
