Please use pp 152-153 in the atlas on your table to help you locate and label the following cities on your Afroeurasian Trade Map:

• Baghdad 
• Beijing 
• Mumbai 
• Kashgar (Kashi, p. 168, NDA)

On the Afroeurasian Trade Chart, for “Goods Produced” and “Asia”, write:

• Silk
• Gunpowder
• Cotton
• Spices
• Livestock

In the box on the chart for “Trade Routes” and “Asia”, write:

• Beijing to Kashgar (land)
• Kashgar to Baghdad (land)
• Beijing to Mumbai (sea)
• Kashgar to Constantinople (land)

Then, use a colored pencil to trace those routes, using dashed green lines for land routes and solid blue lines for sea routes.
