Document-Based Question Essay Tips


Just a couple things to keep in mind while you are preparing for your essay on Tuesday……

-It is a good idea to write the rubric for the DBQ on the side of your documents page as soon as you receive it at the start of class.

-Read the question very carefully.  This is not a “positive/negative” question.  The question specifically asks to compare and contrast the documents in a particular way.

-As with any DBQ question, look for any patterns that develop over time.  It is very important to communicate these discovered patterns to the reader as they are at the center of the question

-When writing your thesis, make sure to include all relevant subjects, locations and dates.  Do not forget to give the reader a hint about any change over time issues you have discovered.

-There are several good opportunities for POV points in this essay.  Make sure to address the author and what could be influencing their POV.

As always, please feel free to ask any questions regarding the essays in class.  I will be available after school on Monday 3rd and before school on Tuesday 4th to answer any questions you have regarding the essay.

Tips for your upcoming DBQ essay


Remember these tips:

-Your thesis can stand alone as your introduction paragraph.  Remember to keep it to one or two sentences.

-You can cite documents really easy in your paper by stating the document number (ex: In doc #4 the author………….)

-Grouping of documents is a point on the basic core rubric for this essay.  Paragraphs are an easy way to distinguish a group.  Never “list” documents in an essay from 1-6.  It will result in no points for the grouping category.

-Although they can appear anywhere in the essay (except for the thesis), additional documents (missing docs) can be easily placed at the end of the essay as a conclusion.  Remember to follow up with WHY you would like to hear from the missing source.

-If you are not addressing the author of a document, you are not addressing P.O.V.  Many people just state what the author said in their document.  You need to go one step further and figure out WHY they produced the document in this particular manner.
