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 3^rd and before school on Tuesday 4^th to answer any questions you have regarding the essay.
