Enlightenment

http://www.lakelandschools.us/lh/gvarley/Enlightenment%20DBQ.htm

Compare/Contrast

Compare and contrast ancient Chinese and Indian
  • When they originated as a civilization
  • Government (how did they get control?, first emperor?)
  • Religion (caste system, reincarnation etc.)
  • Influence from the outside
  • how geography impacted
  • the role of the rivers
  • How they influenced modern society
My advice is 7 paragraphs; one for each point and one conclusion
