Caravan Log#1
A caravan day is when the groups take turns rolling dice. Depending on what number the group gets, they’ll get a trivia(quiz) card, wisdom card, or the chance to challenge another group. If a group is given a trivia card, they will be asked a question, if they get the answer right, they receive five durhams, if they get the answer wrong, nothing happens. If the group is given a wisdom card, the teacher reads out the information out loud for the class to hear and then gives the card to the group to keep. If the group gets the chance to challenge another group, they roll the dice and call odd or even. If the sum of the showing numbers on the upper face of the dice is odd, the team that called odd wins 20 durham from the other group, if the sum of the showing numbers on the upper face of the dice is even, then the group that called even wins 20 durhams from the other group.
My group learned several facts during the first Caravan Day. These are the five that I thought were the most important: There are 1.4 million Christian Arabs! Baghdad was the most famous city during the Golden Age of Islam. Muslim mathematicians contributed to math with Arabic numbers, Algebra, and Geometry. All prayer rugs point to Mecca. Arabs between the 14th and 18th centuries contributed to astronomy, mathematics, and medicine.
