Assignment task:
I need an essay on what I have listed below.
Which three people, places, events, or ideas made the most difference to the world's history between about 1400 and 1800 (Unit I "Worlds Collide" and Unit II "The Rest of the World") and why? Compose your answer as though you were preparing a presentation for junior high students regarding the world's history from roughly 1400 - 1800, and you were only allowed to talk about three people, places, events, or ideas. The talk is entitled, "Movers and Shakers: Three People, Places, Events, and Ideas that Changed the Early Modern World." Choose your three and compose a paragraph for each in which you both define/describe AND explain the significance of your chosen person, place, event, or idea. Think about a theme that unites them together, such as: women, technology, disease, warfare, politics, religion, etc. Explain your unifying theme (what they have in common and why you chose them) in your introduction, and in your conclusion tell us what lessons we could learn from them.
