    This document discusses the process Valeria Alvarez took to create an individual documentary project about the Silk Road and culture exchange. She was inspired by her sister's previous project on the topic and found it interesting during her initial research. Valeria conducted research using primary and secondary sources to learn about the Silk Road. She chose to create a website for her project because she works better independently on computer-based projects. Her project relates to the theme of exchange and encounter, as goods and cultures were exchanged between travelers along the Silk Road routes.
