Today’s Task
Write the Thesis, Additional Document Paragraph & the First Bucket Paragraph!
Within your 1st Bucket Paragraph- tackle a document’s POV!
Use your perfect Mongol DBQ as a guide!
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.

10. 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.
