# Brief Explanations: For the first graphic organizer (Paper): 1. **Origin & Description**: Pulled directly from the first two sentences about paper's creation. 2. **Spread**: Tracked the chronological movement of papermaking from China to the Middle East, then Europe. 3. **Influence**: Taken from the final sentence about paper's impact on ideas. For the second graphic organizer (Block Printing): 1. **Invention**: Corrected to the relevant invention in the text. 2. **Origin & Description**: Summarized the 800s Chinese block printing process. 3. **Spread**: Tracked the movement of block printing to Arabia and then Europe. 4. **Influence**: Pulled from the text about its impact on books and literacy. # Answer: ### Graphic Organizer 1: Paper | Invention | Origin & Description | Spread | Influence | |-----------|----------------------|--------|-----------| | paper | First made by the Chinese around 105 C.E.; formed in molds from plant parts, with papermaking as a guarded fine art | 1. Reached the Middle East in 751 C.E. via captured Chinese soldiers
2. Replaced papyrus in the Arabic Empire by the 900s
3. Reached Europe in the 1200s via Muslim conquest of Spain | Made it easier for ideas to spread to new countries | ### Graphic Organizer 2: Block Printing | Invention | Origin & Description | Spread | Influence | |-----------|----------------------|--------|-----------| | block printing | Developed by the Chinese by the 800s; workers carved text into wood blocks, inked them, and pressed on paper to print pages (new block per page) | 1. Appeared in Arabia in the 10th century
2. Reached Europe in the 1200s after paper was introduced | Lowered the cost of books, led to more schools, and increased literacy (more people learning to read and write) |
