1.2 CHINA'S RIVERS AND PLAINS Follow the Chang Jiang
The Chang Jiang, also known as the Yangtze, is the longest river in Asia and
the third longest river in the world. How does the environment vary along the
river's 3,900-mile course? Read the descriptions of life at different parts of the
river (marked as a, b, and c on the map at right), Then answer the questions
about how physical geography can shape cultures and economies.
a. Origins of the Chang Jiang The river's source is high in the Tanggula Mountains
in the region of Tibet. From there, the river flows east across the Tibetan
Plateau. It then turns south and enters a series of deep gorges and mountain
valleys. The few villages in this remote area are found high above the river's
violent rapids and icy waterfalls.
1. Make Inferences Would you expect many industries to be located in
this area? How might topography affect the area's economy?

For this unit assessment you will create a “mind map” to demonstrate your understanding of the material. what is a mind map? mind maps present information visually through the use of text and images. they have the following common elements: the central image and subject/title is located in the center of the map. use a pictogram or visual representation of the central topic along with the wording. detailed themes, ideas or concepts radiate out from the central idea. ideas clearly connect to central image and ideas consistently and accurately shift from broad scope to specific details. visuals and color clarify the information presented. words identify main ideas or concepts. be concise with the choice of words for your map. write single words or simple phrases. a mind map is clear and easy to follow. your mind map will answer the question: how have elements included in persia, decolonization and the cold war affected the development of the democratic republic of the congo and why does it matter today? your mind map will have four main branches from the central image/title. these branches include three of the persia categories, plus decolonization/cold war. choose three from the list below • politics • society • economy • intellectual - includes science, innovation, art • religion • area = geography and add decolonization/cold war requirements: at least 3 sub-branches (ideas) from each category; include as many sub-sub branches or paths as possible. the paths themselves can be designed in any manner, be creative and have fun, but remember to make your paths clear. include small illustrations – each main branch should have at least three small visuals/symbols/illustrations. prefer hand-drawn but could be a copied image use colored pencils for illustrations and if time, outline wording in fine black pen your mind map should fill the whole page. orient your paper using a landscape format. lastly - why does it matter? include a response to this part of the course essential question. it’s all about the content and showing me what you’ve learned. the more detailed information you can include, the better.
