Asked by qwerty

compare and contrast two ancient civilizations.

i had the choice between
-indus
-mesoamerica
-egypt
-mesopotamia
-china haung he river

i think im going to write about egypt and mesopotamia since they have alot on them...
for now all i have to write is an intruductory paragraph which sounds easy enough

but could someone-
giv me a few pointers on what to base my comparison and contrast on.
also i must come up with a good thesis statement which i don't know how to do or what to write about in it.
Answered by Ms. Sue
I'm glad you chose Egypt and Mesopotamia -- because I know the most about these two cultures. :-)

Before you write a thesis statement or an introductory paragraph, you need to list the similarities and differences between Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Some of the items you should consider are:
geography and location (rivers?)
agriculture (crops?)
language and writing
interment of the dead
religion
government
monuments

After you've completed your list, then you can write your thesis statement.

Check these sites for information about thesis statements.
