Traveling the Silk Road
What do you think is the best item that Marco Polo found when he was traveling the Silk Road with his father and uncle? Why is that the best find and how is it still helping us today?
I think the best item that Marco Polo found when he was on the silk road with his father and uncle was paper money because he doesn't need to carry coins anymore and is helping us because if he never found it we wouldn't have paper money today.
I think The most important things that Marco Polo found was, spices, beacause, if he hadn't traded then, our food would be gross!!!!!! Imagine not having spices on chicken, or steak, and they're one of the most important ingrediants to it.
I think the item that he found that helped the most was paper money or tea and spices. I think paper money helped a lot because if people were carrying around coins there pants would constantly have to be pulled up because the coins are so heavy. I think tea and spices helped because the spices helped preserve food and made it taste better. i think spices help today because the make food taste better for example I can't imagine fries without salt. Tea helped because it was a good tasting hot drink on cold days and some American history would be taken back. It stile helps today because a lot of people drink it.
I think the best item Marco Polo found is paper money in Asia because coins are so heavy and they take up so much room. We use paper money today because it is so light and easier to carry than coins. Coins don't have that much value anymore. There isn't much you can buy with a penny. Other good items that he found are tea and spices because some spices can help preserve foods and they also make food taste so much better. Tea is very good and it can be sweet if you want it to be. We still use both tea and spices today.
I think the best item Marco Polo found is the spices. I think that is the best thing because without spices all of our foods would taste bland. YUCK!!!!! Who would want to eat that? I think it helps us today because most of our food tastes delicious and is not even close to being bland. My favorite food is strawberries with sugar!!! MMMMMM!!!! Now that is a spice! Have a wonderful day Miss P!
I think the best item Marco Polo found was paper money. I think that because if you were going to buy something that was 20 dollars and you had 20 dollars in pennies that would be 200 pennies, that would be a lot of change.Also coins don't have as much value as they did, like the biggest is 25 cents. Paper money takes less space and paper money is a lot lighter. If we didn't have paper money wallets would be huge.
I think that the paper money was the best. I say that because we don't have to carry jinglely-janggle things.Also, it helps when you pay for something like a drink ext. It is also easier to count.I think people like the paper money better.
Paper money is the best thing Morco found because paper money is golden! Paper money is helpful today by evening everything out. It is cool to look at (lol) and is softy/fluffyish.
The best thing that Marco Polo found while travelling in the Silk Road were spices because they make flat food flare. You can use spices for almost anything. I'm not sure they will taste good on candy because sugar is in the candy which makes it really sweet. On chicken, it's out of this world. I hate having flat food like just plain old noodles. My mother puts salt and ragu with meat on my noodles and it tastes so good. With homemade chicken nuggets the salt makes it taste amazing. Have a great week everyone!
The best thing Marco Polo found on his trip to the Silk Road was spices, and because of the way the tast from plain to magnificent. These spices go on a bunch of food so it will make it taste better. This on steak, yummy! It helped us here in the U.S. because it helped are plain old food into brand new great food. Hope everyone has a great week!
The best thing that Marco Polo on his trip to the silk road was salt because if we did not salt then everything would be gross. Like meat,pasta,crakers and more.
hi I think the most important thing Marco Polo found was paper money because it could help them buy stuff and trade it for salt. I dont think i could ever live with out paper money. I am glad that he found it. I think paper money helps ALOT today because if we didn't have it we wouldn't be able to buy stuff!!!

P.S I had alot of fun doing the Asia commercail!!!
I think the best find Marco Polo found was paper money because we do not have to lug heavy coins around in our pockets.Also because paper money is a lot lighter than coins and we would get tired of having to to carry them.I am glad Marco Polo found paper money.
I think the best discovery that Marco Polo found was spices. If we didn't have spices every thing would taste different,plain and disgusting!!! It's still helping us today by making everything taste way better.m Some spices that I can't live without are salt,pepper,and cinnamon. Some of the foods that I put cinnamon are cinnamon toast,(if you haven't tried it you should. it's a really good breakfast!)cinnamon rolls, and french toast.
I think the best thing Marco Polo found was paper money. Paper money helps us today because everyone doesn't have there pants falling down because coins are to heavy so paper helps our pants from not falling down.
I think the best thing Marco Polo got was spices. Spices help us because we don't like plain, old, boring food, we want delicious good tasting food. Another thing that i like is paper money. It is portable and can fit in your wallet. When you want to sneak some snacks up stairs but forgot you have money in your pocket....BOOM you're caught.
I think the best thing Marco Polo was spices because mat without would taste NASTY. I cannot even imagine it! I would only eat things that even now days we don't even use spices. Pizza & Mac 'n' cheese would be gross without salt. The thought of it haunts me... Thank you, Marco Polo!! :{)~ Mustache, Jealous? (Thanks for the idea Kara H.!)
I think it would be salt and other spices. It would be good to make your food look and tast better. It is good to use now because it makes resipes tast a lot better.
I think the best thing that marco polo and his father and uncle found was paper money. they now don't have to carry a ton of coins all around. we would not have it today with out them.
One of the great things that Marco Polo found was the Silk Road. It was a great discovery to find because The Silk Road helped Marco Polo get to China. When Marco Polo got to China he found paper money, silk, and gun powder. Paper money is used all over the world. Gun powder was used in war and used in guns, so that was also important. Silk is used in fancy clothes, and silk costs a lot of money. These are all important things Marco Polo found.
One of the things they found was paper money. The money was lighter so it was easier to carry. The paper money is worth more than coins. Most people today don't save their coins they put them in a jar at home. The paper money is always in their wallets or purses because it is easier to use than coins.
I would say that paper money was the most important item that marco polo found. Because it is how we get our food,shelter,and water and much more. It was also easier to carry around than coins. Paper money is lighter than cons but when you think about it coins don't have as muck value as they used to. All around I am very glad that marco polo found paper money in Asia because it gives us what we need.
I think that the paper money is the most important because than we do not have to carry a lot of coins. I am glad that today Marco Polo found paper money. If you would walked in a store right now and you bought groceries with coins, the cashier would have a puzzled look on his face. Thank you Marco Polo for discovering paper money!! Alexis Mertz
I think that paper money was the very best but that salt was the second. Paper money because, well, imagine what it would be like today when all there would be is coins. Yet, I like the fact that they found salt too, because without it EVERYTHING would be dry and without very much taste. Imagine a world where there was no salt to put on french fries and your pants falling on the ground because of too much coins. Not good at all.
I think the best item that marco polo found was salt.I think it was the because a lot of stuff would taste grouse without it.Salt is still helping us today because we need it to put it on meat and other types of food. Matthew 10
I think that the best item that Marco Polo brought back is tea and spices. If you did not have spices your food would be so gross. I use spices on most of my food. It helps us today because you have spices to make you food taste good. Tea is good today because it is good for you and tastes good.
