Today we will look closely at Document D of the DBQ "Mansa Musa's Hajj:  A Personal Journal".  Document D is a collection of six excerpts from the Qu'ran, the holy book of Islam. First, we will read the excerpts and answer the questions.  Then, you will decide which of the excerpts you want to include in today's journal entry.  Read other students' journal entry for ideas (link) and (link).
Writing journal Entry #4:  
Label your entry "Tuwat Oasis, April, 1324, Evening"
You have traveled more than 1,500 miles with the caravan.
Today as you journeyed, you overheard several pilgrims
discussing what the Qur'an teaches about the duties that
Muslims must perform.  You sit down to record your
experiences and thoughts about the hajj so far. How do you
think this journey relates to the teachings of Islam?  Be sure
to include references from the document to support your
writing.
In this journal entry, be sure to use a quotation from the
Qur'an.  For example:
The Qur'an states, "_____________" (number of verse).
This means that ______________.
                                 or
In the Qur'an, it states, "___________" (number of verse).
This shows Muslims that ______________.
Today's entry needs to be 10 sentences NOT INCLUDING
the quotation.  In other words, you are writing 10 sentences
PLUS the quotation and explanation.
