NOTE this is supposed to be 5 paragraph. Here’s the text for the question:
1. Compare and contrast key characteristics of two early civilizations (choose from Mesopotamian, Shang, Indus Valley, Chavin, and Phoenician) in terms of three of the following: economy, political system, art and architecture, religion, technology, legacy.
Pretty much just answer the question. The kind of thing you would write for an AP test if you had 30-40 minutes
Outline (suggested in the course):
INTRO
hook
thesis statement
Paragraph 1
Topic sentence (economy, religion, tech, etc)
examples from both civilizations (from supplied sources only or else my teacher will think something is up)
commentary
Paragraph 2
Topic sentence
examples
commentary
Paragraph 3
Topic sentence
examples
commentary
Conclusion
Restatement of main points
restatement of thesis
something that answers the question of “why should we care” to tie it all together

Last source is optional
My only requests are to follow the outline, use information from the sources I gave and use a thesis that answers the question directly without sounding too weird (Which is the bit I had trouble with). Citations are not necessary. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
