![]() I heard from so many people over the past couple of weeks who are so excited about a breakthrough. You guys are figuring out what YOU need to do to manage a huge volume of material! It's very personal, and usually emotional, when someone makes a big leap forward in their understanding of them-self. For those of you who aren't there yet, the solution is doing the work. The work will energize your creativity so you can teach yourself how to learn efficiently. I'm looking forward to talking with you guys over this break. I'll actually have some time to see what you guys are thinking as you read this pivotal story in our world history soap opera.

Hello? Heeeelloooo? Anybody home? Well, I guess I'll just sit here on your couch and munch on the stuff in your fridge. Just remember, there will be no reading check on this chapter, just the test on Wednesday/Thursday. Enjoy your break, you deserve it!

Here's a shot at a MQ1: In what ways did the gathering and hunting people of Australia differ from those of the northwest coast of North America?

This is really close to what I got. If you wanted to be super specific you could add that the basis of the "affluent" gathering societies were their access to a bounteous environment. Also North American Paleolithic peoples had large sturdy houses in their villages.

I agree with Maha, combined, you two have a good answer.

Would it be wrong to add the fact of Australia's trade, mythology and rituals, art, and Paleolithic tech/economy?

I was really confused on how to approach MQ8: How did Aztec religious thinking support the empire?

Lia, I think you have a good answer in short form. I would add that the priests and the political leaders were engaged in mutually supportive relationships. I would guess that not all sacrifices were made to maintain the cosmic order, I'll bet more than a few outspoken critics of the empire ended up as sacrifices. (This is an old and ongoing story, right?)

What kinds of changes were transforming the societies of the west African Igbo and the North American Iroquois?

I had your first two points under Igbo too, but I wasn't sure if they counted as changes or not, since the question specifically asks for changes in the fifteenth century, and Strayer doesn't really specify if their rejection for kingship was already there before the century started...

I was definitely also conflicted on this. I'm assuming that these are changes specific to the 15th century mainly because it says "by the fifteenth century their neighbors had begun to develop small states..." which implies that the Igbo and their neighbors diverged (further) in their social orders during the 15 century.

When Strayer says, "all of them would eventually be caught up in the transatlantic slave trade," is he talking about the Igbo people or the processes that he had previously mentioned?

I think he is referring to the Igbo as in the previous sentence he says "to the peoples of the West African forest..." and then leads the next sentence with "all of them".

In what different ways did the peoples of the fifteenth century interact with one another?

Yeah, that's pretty much all you need. I don't think you would need to list examples, you'd end up re-writing the entire chapter. I think you should flesh it out from bullet points a bit though; something like this.

What role did Central Asian and West African pastoralists play in their respective regions?

I wasn't really sure what the answers to this question were as it seems like more of an opinion since it addresses "you" directly, but here's my best shot.

What political and cultural differences stand out in the histories of fifteenth century China and Western Europe? What similarities are apparent?

Honestly, (not related to answering the questions) I got lost in the Renaissance section because I was looking for the margin answer and there seemed to be no info to answer the question. There is information, I just wanted to share that...

Sorry not a common ground, The Ottoman Empire was just a place of interaction and encountering for the Christian and Muslims.

BinghamWelcome class of 2020. Some years students collaborate in this space effectively, some years not so much. One thing I know, collaboration significantly enhances learning. If you want access to my thoughts, this is the collaboration space to use. Most people propose an answer to margin questions, big picture question, or anything else related to managing Strayer. Other people can then comment leading to a stronger answer. I'll keep an eye on these pages, and pop in when I think you need me. Archives
