Tips for the Four Square:
Box 1 (top left): Monserrate describes positive & negative attributes about Akbar; Primary source
Box 2 (top right): The author’s purpose is to inform the audience about the positives & negatives of Akbar. The author’s (Monserrate) bias is that he is Catholic while Akbar is Muslim with Indian Hindu subjects.
Box 3 (bottom left): Give two examples each of Akbar’s positive & negative attributes that Monserrate mentions in the article.
Box 4 (bottom right): Fill in yourself! What’s the historical context? How does it relate to the text?
