  1. Warm Up • What do you need in your thesis? • What parts of a DBQ essay do you need to get all the points? • SWBAT- learn about DBQ’s and Qing China • HW- Ch. 19 book work • Quiz tomorrow

  2. Document Based Question Introduction

  3. DBQ Overview • The DBQ is a test of skills, not content. • Specific outside knowledge of the material is neither expected nor required. • In essence, students are asked to write a mini-research paper based on the documents supplied. • he skills on which they are scored correspond to a historian’s task in • (a) interpreting documents • (b) creating an argument or interpretation based on those documents • (c) pondering what documents they wished they had to make their argument even stronger. • The DBQ is the easiest essay question on the world history AP exam if you understand that it is a skills test.

  4. Acceptable thesis • An acceptable thesis is a statement that answers the question that was asked. • It does not merely repeat the question, nor does it dither by saying, “we shall see how…” • It should be in the beginning of the essay. (1 point)

  5. Understands the Basic Meaning of the Documents • This is the most basic form of document analysis. • It is “plot summary,” to use a term from English classes. (1 point)

  6. Supports Thesis with Appropriate Evidence from All or All But One Document • There are two issues here: • using the documents correctly to support the thesis, • using all or all but one documents. • The ability to use documents to support an idea is the most crucial skill for writing historical research, so this skill has 2 potential points.

  7. Analyzes point of view in at least two documents • Why would this person be saying/writing/designing this thing at this particular time and in this particularplace? AND how does this help me answer the question that was asked? • By answering these queries, students should consider both the author’s characteristics, the particularities of the document or artifact, including the intended audience, and the historical context in which the author and the artifact dwelt. (1 point)

  8. Analyzes Documents by Grouping Them in Two or Three Ways, Depending on the Question • This is the second-easiest form of document analysis: seeing commonalities among documents that help build an argument or interpretation. • There are endless permutations of grouping, and of course it depends on the question asked. (Political documents, documents written by women, visual documents, documents of a certain country or time period, statistical evidence, etc.) • By the way, one document is not a group; “group” is a plural concept. (1 point)

  9. Identifies and Explains the Need for One Type of Appropriate Additional Document or Source • In the world history DBQ, students must ask for a specific type of a document or source (a map of X, a photograph of Y, population figures for Z, a letter from A explaining B) and explain why that document would help them prove their argument/thesis. • The student has to explain specifically why or how the missing document would help bolster the thesis/argument. A good example might be: • “If I had population figures of Constantinople and Tenochtitlan, I could better prove my thesis that these two cities, where trade was enormous, were also the biggest cities in the world at the time.” (1 point)

  10. Expanded Core Points • These last 2 points cannot be given unless the student has received all 7 points in the Basic Core, no matter how wonderfully the student has done on these other skills. • If an essay has an outstanding thesis, it could be awarded 2 Expanded Core Points just for that. • On the other hand, if the essay just barely scraped by with the 7 core points, the reader is under no obligation to award any more points and the essay would be scored a 7 (which is a very good score!).

  11. DBQ • Your thesis must have • 1) AP or A the DP • 2)Time and Place (quote time) • 3) Three Categories of Analysis SPICE Social Political Interactions Culture Economic
