Today’s Task
• Write the Thesis, Additional Document Paragraph & the
First Bucket Paragraph!
• Within your 1st Bucket Paragraph- tackle a document’s
POV!
POV example on
next slide- let me
• Use your perfect Mongol DBQ as a guide! know when you
need it!
• Additional Document Paragraph Example:
• A document written by a common Mongol soldier involved in
the conquests would give more insight into attitudes toward
the Mongols. A rank-and-file soldier would allow a more
complete analysis of insider attitudes about the Mongols,
especially as there is only one Mongol viewpoint given by an
elite man, the shaman of Genghis Khan himself, (Doc. 1). A
powerful holy man would have received booty from conquest,
creating a positive attitude, but it is not possible to tell if a
common soldier felt the same way.
Tackling a POV!
• The following is an example of tackling the POV of a
document within your body paragraph. This is only
one aspect of the body paragraph. Of course you will
need more!
• Juvaini, a Muslim Persian, felt that the Mongols were
ruthless killers who did not value educated people,
(Doc. 7). His attitude was one of clear loathing for a
people that he viewed as the murderers of his people.
Juvaini may be influenced also by the fact only a short
period of time had passed between his writing and the
Mongol conquest, making him more negative, as these
events were fresh in his memory.
