  1. Old Yeller

  2. China’s geography caused it to develop apart from other cultures. A great ocean, huge deserts, and high mountains isolate China from other areas.

  3. The mountains did not protect China totally, however. People living to the north and the west invaded the land many times during the Chinese history.

  4. There are two rich rivers within China – the Huang He (hwahng HUH)also known as the Yellow River, and the Yangtze(yang see). About 90 percent of the land in China thatis suitable for farming lies within the small plain between the rivers in eastern China.

  5. The Huang He, whose name means “yellow river,” deposits huge amounts of yellowish silt when it overflows its banks.

  6. Like the Tigris, Euphrates, and Indus, the Huang He’s floods could be generous or ruinous. At its worst, the floods devoured whole villages, earning the river the nickname “China’s Sorrow.”(One great flood in 1887 C.E. killed nearly a million people.)

  7. Think Pair Share Question
