  1. Welcome to AP World for week of October 22-26 • Homework Assignment—Due Block • Postclassical Trade Group Quiz • Debrief IO Trade Activity • Change over Time thesis practice featuring IO trade

  2. IO Trade Debrief • What were your city/region’s advantages/disadvantages in the Indian Ocean trade network? • What types of goods, knowledge, and technology were you able to acquire? What made this possible? • Why might we say that the IO network was a regional network? • Can we say there was a global trade network at this time (600-1450)? Why or why not? Give two specific pieces of evidence to back up your argument • What happened to the price of goods as you moved around the network?

  3. A good thesis statement • Addresses all parts of the question • Takes a position on the question • Sets out categories for discussion • For a compare/contrast essay, specifically identifies BOTH similarities and differences • For a change over time essay, specifically identifies BOTH changes and continuities

  4. Indian Ocean Trade Changed over time from 500 BCE to 1400 CE • Why does this thesis statement not work?

  5. Your objective is to write a thesis statement for this question • Analyze continuities and changes in the commercial life of the Indian Ocean region from 500 BCE to 1400 CE. • Commercial life includes not only trade, but also the social and political changes and continuities that influenced that trade.

  6. Tables • Use the change over time tables to create categories related to commercial life (e.g. technologies that made trade possible, commercial organization, etc.) • Be sure to include examples from three different regions • Be sure to include periodization—identify the time frames you are talking about (could include sub-periods)

  7. Thesis 1 • Indian Ocean trade changed in the Middle East, East Asia and East Africa due to new markets, new technologies coming from Asia, and disease. • Does it provide a road map? • Does it include periodization? • Does it say how trade changed? • Does it include a continuity?

  8. Thesis 2 • From 500 BCE to 1400 CE, Indian Ocean trade changed from a system based on short travel over land, where few goods were traded to a small number of people, to a system expanded by interactions with the Islamic world, and finally into a world economy • Road map? • Periodization? • Explains how things changed? • Continuities?

  9. Thesis 3 • From the fifth century BCE to the first century CE, Indian Ocean trade was concentrated on land trade, with India’s political stability facilitating trade. With the technological advances made from 500 BCE to 1000 CE, trade was conducted in the Indian Ocean with new maritime knowledge, with dhows and junks continuing to connect Africa to the rest of the world. From 1000 CE to 1400 CE, the growth of African city-states stimulated trade with Islamic and Chinese merchants, intensifying trade networks through this interaction. • Road map? • Periodization? • How trade changed? • Continuities?
