Engaging Students in Evidence-Based Writing with Inquiry and Technology: Document Based Questions (DBQ’s) and English Language Development (ELD) scaffolds
Educators will engage with DBQ Online, as a supplemental resource to engage students in an evidence-based process of critical thinking, inquiry and writing. The DBQ Online platform enhances the well established DBQ Project print binders by creating an environment with built-in scaffolds, audio supports, interactive annotation tools, Spanish translation (for most units), and a step-by-step Essay Builder. With these features in DBQ Online, teachers are provided tools that can customize teaching units to effectively provide support for teaching and learning of ALL students. Meaningful interaction with content strategies will be emphasized. Specifically, audio support, and language and writing scaffolds to support listening, speaking and writing skills, in both English and Spanish. The units build student capacity in foundational critical thinking and literacy skills, as key components in supporting biliteracy.
The DBQ Project, in collaboration with the San Diego County Office of Education, is pleased to offer this FREE introductory professional development session. At the conclusion of the session, participants will have the option for a free preview account of DBQ Online, to explore the DBQ Project library of units available to support teaching and learning.
