Assignment Task: Choose one and make an argument:
(1) Marco Polo did go to China, as we have assumed.
(2) Marco Polo did not go to China, but did exist.
(3) Marco Polo did not even exist.
Back it up with at least three pieces of evidence from the documentary. Cite the minute in the video where you get your evidence, e.g. (34:45)
Make sure to address the complexities and attempt to fully explain the position you have taken. So, for example, if you think Marco Polo existed but did not go to China, where was he for 17 years?
