I love the idea about using music. I use it too in my 6th and 7th grade class. I will look for the CD Yo Yo... I have a great children's book I purchased at Borders that I read to my students when I teach the Silk Rode. I give them a map of the route and have them add visuals as I read. As i was reading some of the matrial today for our UCLA seminar some of the places mentioned in the children's book were mentioned in our text. They were familar to me because of reading to my classes. Maybe some of the places will actually stick in the mind of my students.
