Click the picture to view a video clip of a Marine Drill Sergeant Read-Aloud January 16, Block 1 MARTINET- a strict disciplinarian; a person who demands absolute adherence to forms and rules Pronunciation The word MARTINET is derived after Jean Martinet, an army officer during the reign of Louis XIV in France. He was a tough drill master known for his strict adherence to rules and discipline. He was killed by friendly fire during the siege of Duisburg in 1672. The Marine Drill Sergeants at Parris Island are renowned for being merciless MARTINETS. As readers of Harry Potter are well aware, MARTINETS are not limited to the military. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dolores Umbridge was a MARTINET who tried to impose rigid standards of discipline on the students and faculty at Hogwarts.

  7. The Comparison Essay Guidelines and Expectations for Good AP Writing

  8. Compare and Contrast

  9. Know the Rubric Comparison means to say what is the same and what is different. This says at LEAST one – you need THREE – Rule of 3!!! Analyze means to say “why” – why is there a difference or similarity (or to what degree)

  10. Tackle the Question

  11. Brainstorm Quickly

  12. So how do I set up my essay? Remember you only get points for pointing out the similarities and differences. Consider the following…

  13. If you do the following… Where are you going to compare and contrast???

  14. The following also has some issues Can work, but not always

  15. Best format to get POINTS This requires a lot of prewriting – if you have time, do this!!!

  16. Use Outline Thesis – Same as before – answer question, use groups, and give hints Political Goals and Outcomes Economic Goals and Outcomes Military Goals and Outcomes Evidence (at least 3 detailed comparisons) Evidence(at least 3 detailed comparisons) Evidence (at least 3 detailed comparisons) Conclusion

  17. Common Problems Describing the two things/events separately (with great evidence) but never comparing and/or contrasting – NO POINTS FOR DESCRIBING Confusing dates, people, and places Running out of time and not finishing

  18. Length: 3-7 sentences Organization: Background Argument Roadmap Background: Attention-Getter (prove you understand history/set the stage). Set the stage for your thesis. Argument (Thesis): Must be explicit, comparative, and avoid restating question. Roadmap: Indirectly describe how you will support your thesis (can be part of thesis) Thesis and Introduction

  19. Length: About 7 sentences Organization: Topic sentence, evidence, analysis (repeat the last two three times) DON”T just talk about one, then talk about the other (parallel structure) Make DIRECT comparisons, and use effective transitions Use body paragraphs to prove or support your thesis Explain, don’t just list similarities and differences (analysis) Body Paragraphs

  20. No points can be taken off for not having a conclusion But, it is your final chance to make sure that your argument is not lost (back-up thesis?) This is your chance to show you recognize the significance of your argument (Your answer to “So What?”) Conclusion

  21. Mini-Lecture: Early Civilizations

  22. 3. Where did the earliest civilizations form and why? • River Valleys • Nile • Tigris / Euphrates • Indus • Huang He / Yangtze • Rivers provided irrigation, drinking water, and transportation • Why not other rivers?

  23. 4. What different forms of rule did the earliest civilizations use to keep order? Egypt  Divine rule; pharaoh = god; bureaucracy Mesopotamia  Lugals = “Big Men;” strong armies (Assyrians); use of priests China  Mandate of Heaven (Divine Right); Confucian beliefs (Social Roles) India  Samsara and caste system (social institutions) )

  24. 5. What factors helped determine the social structures of various early civilizations? • Free vs. Slave (Mesopotamia especially) • Land ownership (China) • Occupation • India • Mesopotamia • Egypt • Gender

  25. 6. Explain the interconnection between geography and religion in two early civilizations. Egypt  Gods controlled environment beneficial flooding = nice gods; unified religion due to geographic isolation Mesopotamia  Violent floods = Angry, vengeful gods; introduction of new religions (Judaism, Zoroastrianism, etc.) due to geographic “openness” China  Mandate of Heaven illustrated by natural disasters

  26. 7. Was there gender equality in early societies? If not, what prevented it? All Neolithic societies  women no longer play as much of a role in food acquisition China  Confucianism held women in lower status than any male; men must “protect” women India  Aryan beliefs made women the equivalent to lowest caste; sati Egypt  Limited protections and rights for women, but not equivalent of men (few female leaders) Mesopotamia  No female “Lugals” = no legal equality for women
