LEQ
intro paragraph
contextualize
best thing is to give info on the start of the period (like usually for everything you can always connect it back to start of the period) —> 4-5 sentences
thesis
for the “to what extent” thesis’s: structure should be "Despite (counter argument), because (evidence#1) and (evidence#2), (my argument)
my argument: _____ had a profound, moderate, or minimal impact on ______
use compare and contrast for the complexity point so basically one paragraph should be reason #1 but then kinda disprove that with reason #2 for the next paragraph during the explanation part and it obviously works the best if you use “moderate” as your word but can still work with the other ones
EXAMPLE:

contextualization:
my thesis:
