E N D
1. The DBQ What it is not:
You summarizing all of the documents.
You taking a side on an issue
You summarizing all of the documents.
Butyou do have to know what the documents mean, and who is doing the talking
2. The DBQ What it is
You reading the documents, understanding them...
You noticing that some of the documents might have somethingincommon
You, demonstrating that you know what the something is
You, being able to demonstrate that some of the documents arebiased!!!
3. The DBQ Where to start?
The essentials:
You have two hours and ten minutes to:
Answer the DBQ
Answer two Thematic Questions
Nobody will tell you when to stop one and start the other(s)
On test day, trust no one!!!
4. The DBQ What are those College Board folks looking for?
More importantly, what do you want to get out of this?
A score of three, four or five on the AP can mean serious savings in college, since you may be allowed to skip a class others will have to take.
That puts the $87.00 fee for the exam in perspective
$87.00 can save you thousands
5. The DBQ How do they score the DBQ essay?
Six points can be earned this is your core
Then, there are additional points up to three more - but only if you have hit all the first six
Miss one of the six and no matter how many of the bonus point you have made you will stay at a five
Six one (that you missed) = five
6. The DBQ Look at page 15/16 in your REACH booklet.
Basic Core on the Left
Expanded core on the Right.
Lets break down the Basic Core first
7. The DBQ 1. Thesis
Do Not copy the Question/historical context.
We will work on learning to create a serious thesis today.
This is your intro but so much more.
8. The DBQ 2. Majority of documents are discussed. Think, to be safe, of using all, or all minus one, of the documents.
Using them is not just listing their numbers in a paragraph, and then only really using one or two.
We will work on this
9. The DBQ 3. Show you understand the majority of the documents.
(you can mess up on one)
(Just one) You are all smart
You take AP, after all
This should not be a problem.
10. The DBQ 4. Thesis is supported by using the majority of documents.
You have properly interpreted them. Im guessing if your thesis is together, then you have a plan on how to use the documents.
11. The DBQ 5. Demonstrate bias in at least three documents. This is huge
Can you show that the speaker is using language that is simply not factual.
Are their remarks what you expected?
We will spend much time on this today.
12. The DBQ 6. You have gathered the documents in at least three separate groups. You have noticed similar trends
You have seen similarities in the sources
There are threads, connecting certain documents
Theyagree with another
13. The DBQ Thats the core:
Big Time thesis
All/all 1 of the docs used
Demonstrate understanding of docs
What you use connects with your thesis
Three examples of bias
Three groups
Lets worry about the bonus later
14. The DBQ What can you do to get the big six?
Lets Big Picture the essay:
Youll have:
A question
A historical context
And, a bunch of documents.
What to do, how to get therein about an hour?
15. The DBQ Turn to the 2008 DBQ in your REACH booklet.
(* It is missing a few documents, but we can use it for practice.)
Here is the Question:
Analyze the causes of and responses to the peasants revolt in the German States, 1524 1526.
16. The DBQ What words stand out?
Analyze the causes of and responses to the peasants revolt in the German States, 1524 1526.
Causes Why does it happen?
Responses What was done/what was thought of this?
My guess is that the documents might have something to so with those two words
17. The DBQ Analyze the causes of and responses to the peasants revolt in the German States, 1524 1526.
Analyze?
They are looking for more than a summary of the documents
BTW: Have you read the Historical Context?
Helpful? Yes.
Is it your thesis?
No!!!
18. The DBQ All documents will have some common things:
A number actually important
Source who or what is the origin of the doc.
The document itself.
Lets turn to the document chart on page 22/23.
19. The DBQ This will really help you organize
How to use it?
First, and this can be done quite quickly, fill in the first three columns.
Doc = #
Date they should give that to you
Source this is just a bit more complicated
20. The DBQ Source do not put the persons name
Doput who they were, or what they did. Think
Politician
Author
Religious person
Ethnicity
National origin
Gender
Occupation
Social Class
21. The DBQ Why?
Because you may have one or more
Politicians
Authors
Religious people
Ethnicities
National Origin (Englishmen)
Gender (men/women)
Occupations (artisans)
Social Class (peasants)
These can give you groups
And remember, they do expect you to have at least three groups.
22. The DBQ Back to the chart
What about those other two columns after source?
Big Arc above the two columns???
What is issue/topic that covers all of the documents?
What is the big picture?
23. The DBQ Then, the two columnsI have labeled them side
Almost all DBQs will have:
For/Against
Positive/Negative
Causes/Effects
Causes/Responses
Attitudes/Actions
Reasons/Reactions
24. The DBQ Then, since you have read and analyzed the documents..decide where they go
Which side? Remember
There do not have to be an even number in each column
And, you do not have to summarize them in the small boxes.
25. The DBQ What you have done is to construct at least two groups, (your columns) and that means
You only have to get one more, a subgroup, to qualify for the big six.. (three groups)
And, if you have groupsyou have paragraphs
At least three body paragraphs
*You do not need a conclusion for a DBQ!!!
