Make the Most of Your DBQ Resources

• Middle and K-8 schools have access to our Mini-Qs in World History, Volumes 1 & 2, and Mini-Q in American History, Volume 1
• High schools have access to our Mini-Qs in World History, Volume 3, American History, Volume 2, Civics, World Geography, and Economics

• The beauty of the DBQ is that it encapsulates several critical academic skills within a single but powerful learning activity, including: deep and nuanced reading, critical analysis, and evidence-based writing. Additionally, students gain a substantive understanding of content by engaging in the DBQ process.

• To support the development of these critical skills, we have developed a six step method, which breaks down what is normally a complex process into manageable, concrete steps. Additionally, our “Habits of Document Analysis” make explicit to students the habits of mind central to successfully completing a DBQ.

• All our lessons are inquiry-based and student-centered. As students grapple with a driving question, they read and analyze a series of documents. Ultimately, students draw their own informed conclusions about the driving question. This process encourages students to take ownership of their learning.
