For this assignment, you will write a two-page paper answering the question, “How did new technology like metal working, water control and engineering impact the environment and society?” You will need to include a thesis statement that answers the question in your introduction paragraph, then use the body of your paper to provide evidence that supports your thesis, and follow with a conclusion paragraph that wraps up your argument. You are expected to use Times New Roman font, size 12; to write a full two pages- not one and a half (anything less and you won’t be able to make a conclusive argument with proof); to use outside resources to bolster the credibility of your argument; to use citations- both within the text and in a bibliography (as practiced in your citation assignment at the beginning of the unit); and to use examples from all of the ancient river civilizations. Please submit your assignment when finished.
