  1. DBQ WORKSHOP America in the 1920s

  2. STEP 1 This will help you recall information and get you thinking about brainstorming • Read the Historical Context & Task Many people living in the 1920s felt that they were living in an exciting time. They called it the “Roaring Twenties”, sometimes it was even referred to as the “Modern Decade.” In many ways it was just that. Flush with their successes in World War I, Americans looked forward to a carefree time of “normalcy,” freedom, and prosperity. Many changes were taking place in American society, the economy was thriving, and America was at peace. However, not all Americans were able to enjoy these times. For all the exciting events and features of the 1920s, there were many problems that haunted American society. Historians and students need to look carefully at this decade and decide: Were the Twenties an exciting and modern decade? Or were they a time of troubles? • TASK: • Describe at least two features of the 1920s that made them a positive, exciting time in American history. • Describe at least two social problems faced by Americans in the 1920s.

  3. This step is a MUST before you start scanning through the documents. Otherwise, your thoughts will be corrupted. STEP 2 • Brainstorm • What do I know about this time period? • Major events, concepts, terms, people, etc. • Was there change? • Is so, what type? • Social, political, economic, etc. • Amendments • Laws • Presidents

  4. STEP 3 How many points is your answer worth? • Open up the DBQ packet, read the directions, read the question(s), examine the document, and write a response. • Place a (T1) or (T2) next to the document number, identifying which task it answers. • Lastly, continue brainstorming off to the side, using the current document as a prompt. • Vocabulary, people, etc. Do my answers have to be written using complete sentences?

  5. T 1 • Charleston • Lindy Hop • Jazz • Louis Armstrong • ___________ • ___________

  6. STEP 4 • Draw QDMS Chart This is where the brainstorming you did comes into play. You should have added additional information to each document as you proceeded through the DBQ. This is where you explain how the document answers the question/task. TASK These are the two questions below the Historical Context that you need to answer in your essay. This is where you record the documents you are about to use.

  7. STEP 5 • Complete “Q” column (Question) The Task to determine how many questions you will have # of bullets in Task = # of questions • Question(s)=TASK(S) • Describe at least two features of the 1920s that made them a positive, exciting time in American history.

  8. STEP 6 One question at a time. One document at a time. • Complete the rest of the QDMS Chart 1. Describe at least two features of the 1920s that made them a positive, exciting time in American history. Document 1 Document 9 Flapper, Charleston, Jazz, Louis Armstrong, Cotton Club, segregation, discrimination The Model T, Henry Ford, assembly-line, 5 dollars work days, new household appliances allows more leisure time, KDKA, CBS, NBC, the radio allowed families to listen to the news, ball game, jazz, etc This document shows the prosperity of the 1920s. The couple is well dressed. The man is wearing a tuxedo and the woman has on a fancy dress with flashy jewelry. The standard of living in America increased during this decade. Middle-class Americans were able to afford the automobile and the radio entered the American household.

  9. STEP 7 (ROUGH DRAFT) • Skip lines when writing your rough draft. • Try to use a pencil if possible. • Write an Introduction • Use the Historical Context and Task to help you put together an Introduction. Try to create your own introduction. Worst case scenario, you may copy the Historical Context.

  10. Make sure to skip lines to prevent a mess.

  11. STEP 8 • Use your QDMS Chart to write your body paragraph(s). • Two questions (task) equals two body paragraphs. • Remember to cite your sources • When you use information from the documents, reference that information (Document 1). • Include information that is NOT FOUND in the documents. • (Outside Information) Your brainstorming will help you do this.

  12. STEP 9 • Write a Conclusion • Restate you Introduction and summarize the information in your essay. • Try to end your essay with a powerful closing sentence. You MUST have a Conclusion. Your conclusion MUST be at least four (4) sentences long.

  13. STEP 10 (FINAL DRAFT) • Your final draft may be written in pen or pencil. • You may type your final draft instead if you prefer. • Skip lines, it is required at the High School. • Make sure you indent. • Make sure you have 4 paragraphs. • You may use both sides of the paper.

  14. Final Check • Did you write an Introduction? • Did you answer the questions? • Body Paragraph 1- Excitement of the 1920s • Body Paragraph 2- Social problems that loomed over the decade • Did you cite AT LEAST 5 documents in your essay? • Did you include outside information? • Did you write a conclusion? Lastly, are you proud of your work? If not, why not? What don’t you understand?
