T minus 60 days: PERSIA shift (March 12-April 12)
from Individual Research
PERSIA Shift: To practice your ability to use all aspects of PERSIA, answer the question: What big picture is represented by the following? Try to explain the item in a paragraph length response and use a different element of PERSIA. For example if "the building of the Taj Mahal" is the descriptor (which is generally viewed in the "A" of PERSIA, try to explain it economically. You may say: "The Taj Mahal represents the Mughal Empire's economic ability to build great architectural structures. They built up their coffers through Akbar's economic policies and had economic surplus by the time of Shah Jahan. The construction of the building also suggests a strong sense of hierarchy in that Shah Jahan used the surplus for monument building, rather than, say creating equality amongst India's rich and poor. This goes in line with the common Hindu understanding of Caste system brought to prominence through ancient Hindu sacred writings." Note that in this answer, art, economics and social class are highlighted.
In "Broad Statement", make a statement that represents a commonality from the previous descriptors and is one-two sentence(s) in length. We are, in essence, working backwards in that we are finding examples, then writing our all encompassing thesis statement.
