Same before 1200 and after.\n- Goods: spices, cotton textiles, porcelain, ivory traded throughout. Same kinds of luxury + bulk goods.\n- Swahili city-states (Kilwa, Mombasa) GREW a lot in this period, became rich trade hubs.\n- Islam spread to more port cities through merchants (Sultanate of Malacca converted in the 1400s).\n- Ships: I wrote \"Europeans introduced the magnetic compass to the Indian Ocean.\"\n  ** Mr. B correction: NO. The compass came from China (Song dynasty) and spread through the Indian Ocean. Europeans weren't major players here until after 1450. **\n- Ships got bigger: Chinese junks, more cargo.\n- Diasporic merchant communities (Arab, Persian, Gujarati) lived in foreign ports, same pattern throughout.\n\nMr. B: \"CCOT = name what changed AND what stayed the same. Be specific.\"\n\nNext unit: Portuguese arrival (1498) - NOT this unit.\n\nDBQ practice Thursday.","rules":[{"type":"numberedItems","count":4},{"type":"maxWords","max":80},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Asking for a summary","why":"The AI writes paragraphs that blend changes and continuities, which is exactly what CCOT questions punish.","fix":"Give labels: \"2 lines starting Change:, 2 starting Continuity:.\"","checks":["r0"]},{"title":"Not saying how many lines","why":"The AI picks its own number, and it usually picks more lines than you need.","fix":"Be exact: \"Exactly 4 numbered lines.\"","checks":["numberedItems"]},{"title":"Trusting the AI to count words","why":"AI is bad at counting.
