What educators are saying
Description
In this Marco Polo Debate classroom activity, students begin by evaluating excerpts from The Travels of Marco Polo to determine Polo's believability. Then, students begin the exercise and look at a series of "yes" and "no" sides of the debate over his travels. There are FOUR total exhibits where students will hear both sides of the debate on whether or not he actually traveled to China. Once complete, students will prepare a mini-debate with classmates on Polo's legacy before reflecting on what they have learned!
