At the beginning of this unit, you were asked to ponder a series of questions. Here, we are going to return to the first of them:

What allowed modern humans to spread across the planet and create civilizations, something that had never been attempted by any species before us?

You will be writing a paragraph in response to this question. You will need to provide a clear answer then will use several pieces of evidence from the course to support your answer. 

Open the organizer for paragraphs by clicking on the linked text below.

Paragraph Organizer

You can print this up to use as an outline for your paragraph or you can use one of your own, but you must submit an outline. 

Be sure that your topic sentence, which is the first sentence, contains the key words to introduce your topic. For example, if you think it was stone tools that allowed humans to spread (that wouldn't be a great answer) then you would be sure to write "stone tools" in that first sentence. 

You will then use details to support your answer. Be sure to be specific in the details that you use and to get the details in the right order. 

Finally, you will conclude your paragraph by reinforcing your main points at the end. 

This assignment will be marked according to the paragraph rubric.
