Write the DBQ given in class

Answer the question on the DBQ given in class (Analyze the Han and Roman attitudes toward technology). Be sure to include a thesis that answers the question and previews the main ideas you will have in your essay. You might organize your essay into three parts such as Rome, Han and similarities OR people who like tech, people who don't and people who like it a bit OR political documents, social documents, economic documents OR philosophical docs, official docs and what workers think. Whatever you choose be CERTAIN TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.

In your essay, be sure each paragraph includes at least one example of how a person's perspective changes what they say about a document (Bias) and one group of documents (two or more documents that agree about the answer to the question.

Don't worry if you are unsure about your essay. Write an essay and finishing is what's important for this assignment. Don't worry about perfection but be SURE TO FINISH THE ESSAY.
