Show image 1A-1: Map of the world in 1492<br />

As you point to the map, explain that these plants grow on the<br />

continent of Asia, but not on the continent of Europe. Explain that<br />

spices were very expensive to buy in Europe because they came<br />

from so far away. Remind students that travel to the Indies was<br />

difficult because people didn’t have airplanes, trains, and cars<br />

back then. <strong>Tell</strong> students that spices were one of the main reasons<br />

that Europeans wanted to travel to the Indies in Asia.<br />
