HW #10 -- 9/18/08

Assignment: Write a 2-paragraph Expert Report on your region

Paragraph 1: Overall, how would you describe the role and influence of your region in the 15th century trade networks?   

Here are some questions to think about.  You do not have to answer all of them:

• Was your region powerful at the time? Why or why not?
  
• Did you region desire more power? If so, explain.
  
• Did your region control certain trade routes? 
  
• Were there any big changes happening in your region at the time?
  
• Did your region have any major accomplishments?
  

Paragraph 2: What did your region provide and receive from other regions?

• This section should include trade, culture, knowledge, technology, religion, or biological products (disease, plants, animals).
  
• This is the information that will be represented on your map, so this paragraph should provide a thorough explanation.
  

Guidelines

1.  Do not use the internet for research.  You should only get information from classwork, the textbook, and your reading packet.

2.  You may type or handwrite your report.  (Typing and emailing it to your group's reporter would be helpful!)

3.  Each paragraph needs to have 6-8 sentences, and be full of information!
