CCOT Essay + Tips.......

Here is your essay topic that will be written in class on Monday, Feb. 11th.....

Analyze the social and economic transformations that occurred in the Atlantic world as a result of new contacts among Western Europe, Africa and the Americas from 1492-1750.


 How to Achieve Point #4 on a CCOT Essay- Global Context

Global context on a CCOT Essay can be achieved in one of three ways...

1.  Placing the Atlantic world in the context of world history (Ex: Similar to China, the U.S. has been experiencing an economic recession)
2.  Connecting the Atlantic world to a global process (Ex: While independence movements occurred in this region, other independence movements were also influenced by these event in another region)
3.  Interaction between two regions (Not only was this happening in the core European country, it was also happening in the country's colonies)

Basic Structure Example:

Thesis

Body Paragraph #1
GSPRITE or Continuity

Body Paragraph #2
GSPRITE or Contrast

Body Paragraph #3
Global Context

Restate Thesis

Chapter 23+24 GSPRITES

*Note: Test has been moved to Monday, February 4th.  The Chapter 24 Study Guide will also be collected this day.
