Have you been to the Silk Road Encounters site (through AskAsia.org) It's at http://teachers.silkroadproject.org/. There's a really nice curriculum unit FREE to educators. All print, not video like it says, but good stuff. And I LOVE the Spice unit on the Silk Road.
Talk about all Asia all the time: today I snuck in(segue?) Marco Polo in a discussion of Ibn Battuta, and get this, the North Korean army in a lesson about Sundiata king of Mali (you know, the dangers of a large standing army.)
