My name is Alan Cox and I am the IBPYP Curriculum Coordinator here at Beijing City
International School (BCIS), China.

Currently we have a grade 3 class studying, as part of their unit of inquiry, the concept of
'value' and are interested in investigating the importance of salt historically in trading.

With many PYP schools we encourage the students to use both primary and secondary
sources to gather information. The kids have asked us if there were any "salt experts" that
they could interview or talk to gain more knowledge and I was wondering if there are people
who feel confident enough to possibly field some questions from grade 3 students?

Thank you for your time and assistance,
Alan
