Exam 1 Essay
Write no less than a 500 word essay on the following question:
How did the concepts of the Mandate of Heaven, dynastic cycles, and Confucian ethic affect China’s
development?
Be sure to have a thesis statement in your Introduction. Do not write a three-point thesis statement. Consider
the question carefully and find a single central theme. Write in the Third-person past tense. You may use
quotations from your book only but they may only be one line long. If you use quotations be certain to
accompany the quotation with an in-text citation. A formal Works Cited is no necessary. Be certain to have a
Conclusion that answers your thesis.
