Your Initial Post:
Begin by viewing the Module Presentation and continue by reading Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 in your textbook. Then, as you review the sources, consider the following questions in a post of at least 250 words:
Explore how geography impacts the development of societies. Choose oneof the societies from Mesopotamia, Egypt, or Asia that we read about this week and discuss how geography impacted their development.
- Why did they develop where they did?
- How did it contribute to the type of food they ate or how far they could travel
DQ 2: The reflective prompt below is intended to help you reflect on your own learning for this module. Your participation and learning process are the important concepts, not simply the “correct” answers. Your answers can be used to help scaffold and guide your own learning, and to create a pathway through this course that meets your individual needs.
Your response should be no more than 5 sentences. You must use full sentences and should refer to the concepts from the week, but do not need to worry about using proper APA citations, references, or formatting.
- What is one important concept or idea you learned this week and why does it matter to you?
