DBQ What does that mean?
Document Based Questions • Documents of all sorts can be used to collect “real” information when you need to answer a historical question or write a report. • What is “real” information? DBQ
Primary sources: • Diaries from the event • Government records • Interviews • Poems by serfs • A sculpture or piece of artwork by a peasant on a collective farm • Photographs • Treaties • Maps DBQ
Secondary sources: • An article about a piece of art • Book on The Holocaust • An essay about collective farms • A biography of a Stalin • Newspaper article DBQ
If we were writing a DBQ, the first thing we would do is read all of our primary and secondary source documents. • Let’s read all our documents. Starting a dbq
“official” documents • Document A • Fruits are a type of food group. Apples and bananas are two types of fruits. They are great to eat for a snack! Both fruits are healthy and usually cost less than $1. • Document B • Some fruits are big and some fruits are small. Apples and bananas are the perfect size because they are easy to carry in your lunchbox.
Now we need to look at our DBQ question. • What are the similarities between apples and bananas? • Next create 3 categories to answer the question. • Category 1: They are both healthy • Category 2: They are easy to carry • Category 3: They are both affordable Starting a dbq
Now you must providence as much evidence from the documents for each of the categories • Category 1: They are both healthy • Evidence: Because they both contain vitamins (Doc A) • Evidence: (More evidence from sources) • Category 2: They are easy to carry • Evidence: Because they both fit in a lunchbox (Doc B) • Evidence: (More evidence from sources) • Category 3: They are both affordable • Evidence: Because they cost less than $1 (Doc A) • Evidence: (More evidence from sources) Evidence
Now put all your categories, evidence and documents used into a paragraph. • Apples and bananas have similarities. Both are healthy snacks because “they contain vitamins” (Doc A). They are also easy to carry because they “fit in your lunchbox “(Doc B). Lastly, they are “affordable because apples and bananas normally cost less than one dollar” (Doc A). Apples and bananas are alike in many ways. REQUIREMENT 2
Nothing………………….so…………… What do Bananas and Apples have to do with Social Studies?
Read all the documents provided to you by your teacher. Answer any questions that are on the documents. Let’s try it with official documents

We call this The Great Terror • Purges: Arrest of a massive amount of people who supposedly were a threat to the Communist system. • Reality People often were arrested for no reason whatsoever!!! Stalin even had high ranking officers of his own administration arrested.
Anyone arrested faced harsh interrogation and then was either executed or sentenced indefinitely to labor camps. Have you ever been late to work? In the Stalin era, a person who arrived late to work three times could be sent to the Gulag for three years. Have you ever told a joke about a government official? In the Stalin era, many were sent to the Gulag for up to 25 years for telling an innocent joke about a Communist Party official. If your family was starving, would you take a few potatoes left in a field after harvest? In the Stalin era, a person could be sent to the Gulag for up to ten years for such petty theft. End of Story?
