Write a Body Paragraph • For each piece of evidence used in your writing, clearly state your reasoning. • Over-Arching Argument: The benefits of building the Great Wall of China outweighed the costs. • Claim 1: The Great Wall of China was of extreme benefit to the Chinese people living in the border areas. • Evidence: According to a letter written by Chao Cuo in 169 BCE, people living in border areas lived in walled cities “well protected by high walls, deep moats, catapults, and thorns” (Doc. B). • Reasoning: Without walled cities, the Chinese people might have been easily attacked by barbarians like the Xiongnu.
