“How are humans, in the place you’re visiting, currently and historically changing their natural environment?” 
Your professor has already assembled primary and secondary documents about the place that you choose to visit; it’s up to you to analyze them. Using the documents, write one CEA paragraph explaining how humans are currently changing the environment; then write one CEA paragraph giving historical background about how the ancient civilization there changed the environment.
