First DBQ (Document Based Question) Essay of the Year!
On Monday, we will begin our first Document Based Question essay. This is a challenging process which will be a brand new experience for most students. It involves organization, content comprehension, inferencing, categorizing, classifying, identifying…the list goes on. The end result of this week long process is a 5 paragraph essay in which they have formed a hypothesis to a posed question and backed up their premise with supporting details from primary and secondary sources.
This process can be intimading and frustrating. However, it is well worth the effort. This developed process will be used by most students throughout high school and well into college and beyond.
Our first DBQ will answer the question: What Drove the Sugar Trade? This is a great follow topic up to the unit we just finished which explored the Global Ages and its effects it had on the world regarding trade and colonization.
