Writing a DBQ

• A DBQ is a Document-Based Question
• You must read and analyze primary/secondary
  source documents to help answer a historical
  question
• After reading the documents, you develop an
  argument (thesis) to answer the question
• The point is to show that you can read and
  analyze documents and DEFEND YOUR ARGUMENT!
• These are designed to be about 5 paragraphs. We
  will start with just planning, then 3, then 5!
• While you write use the PURPLE WRITING SHEET FROM
  Ms. Hall!

• For each point, you need to include solid
  information FROM THE DOCUMENTS and from your
  PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE to support your argument
