World History - Mongol Essay Outline Directions

Outline for Mongol Essay                                                                                        
Remember, we are not actually writing an essay…we are not even writing a paragraph.  We are simply organizing our ideas into an outline based on the following questions/format:

  • Thesis:  Were the Mongols savage barbarians, or an advanced civilization? (choose one side only)
    • Body IP 1: Topic Sentence: What is one reason that the Mongols are savage/advanced?
      • Concrete Detail: one piece of specific evidence from the documents that proves the reason you stated in your topic sentence.
        • Cite your source (with just the letter of the document)
      • Concrete Detail:  a second piece of evidence from the documents that proves the reason you stated in your TS
        • Cite your source (letter of document)
    • Body IP 2:  Topic Sentence: What is a second reason that the Mongols are savage/advanced?
      • Concrete Detail: one piece of specific evidence
        • Citation
      • Concrete Detail: another piece of specific evidence
        • Citation
