DBQ+Resources

DBQ Resources


 * First,** download the DBQ directions for Monday if you didn't get them in class. Bring them to class, along with your rubric, DBQ docs, notes and blank paper. :[[file:Peasants' Revolt DBQ directions--in class.doc]]


 * Second**, below you'll find a sample DBQ response to the 2015 AP US History exam. The prompt was the following: "Explain the reasons why a new conservatism rose to prominence in the United States between 1960 and 1989."

I have underlined the student's thesis, and I've pointed out correct document citation (check marks). I've also circled an example of PoV/Bias. (Remember, I want you to circle all PoV/Bias examples in your essay.) There is plenty of outside information and context building, as well. Think of this as a model of how to organize and write a DBQ. It's about weaving together outside information, as well as document analysis, in your attempt to respond to the prompt.

Note: This is only the first 3 pages of a 5 page response. I doubt many of you will be able to write 5 pages, so don't worry. If you can write 2 or 3 pages, you'll be off to a good start.

Cheers!
