Earth and Its People: Chapter 2 Early China, 2000-221 B.C.E. Geography and Resources China possesses numerous natural barriers which include: The Himalaya mountains to the southwest The Takla Makan Desert, the?Pamir and Tian mountains to the west The Gobi Desert and Mongolian steppe to the northwest steppe - ?a large area of flat unforested grassland? Pacific Ocean to the east This created a great natural isolation and self-sufficiency (though not nearly as dramatically as with Egypt), China comes into contact with other cultures, but refuses to be influenced Mountains make travel, transport, and communication difficult, and rivers are used for east-west movement For this reason, as well as for predictable flooding, rivers are very important Rivers

AP WORLD HISTORY Continuity and Change Over Time Essays A CCOT question is similar to a comparative one, the key difference being instead of comparing between two places during the same time, one is comparing between two times, often in the same place. The structure for a CCOT thesis is simpler than for a comparative thesis, but shares the following elements: 1. It is clear ? it clearly responds to the question and is on topic. 2. It is comprehensive ? it addresses the whole prompt, and 3. It is analytical ? it establishes clear categories of ?continuity? versus ?change?. Compositionally, a CCOT essay is simpler than that of a comparative essay. Your overall structure will look something like this: I. Thesis that identifies continuities versus changes
