DBQ PRACTICE Muckrakers & The Progressive Era
How will you spend a $1,000,000? • Sometime the question, in itself, can be a “hook.” • Remember the basics about DBQ questions: • Have students take a stance. • Word your question clearly. • Make the expectations for the answer clear in the question. AN INTERESTING QUESTION IDEA
Look at the way in which we used the template. • Student friendly vocabulary • Source information • Document Note • We chose to use pictures/visuals with each written source. • After each source there is a sheet of questions. TAKE A LOOK THROUGH THE DBQ PACKET.
ACTIVATE YOUR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: • On your own, write down what you believe are the five most important facts or ideas from John’s lecture. • Then, in a group of three, discuss your facts. Agree on the three (3) most important facts from the lecture. WHAT DO WE ALREADY KNOW?
Quickly skim the documents. What pops out at you? Does your first instinct point you in the direction of any particular Progressive reform to give you money?
STEPS TIPS Use a variety of LOTS, MOTS, AND HOTS. Start with the lowest level questions and work up. Remember, you can scaffold student learning with multiple choice questions as the highest level. 1-2 LOTS, 2-4 MOTS, 1-2 HOTS • Split the 7 documents of the DBQ amongst your table group so that groups of two or three only have a few documents. • For each of the documents assigned, write six questions that will help students to understand the documents. • Share your questions with your table group. WRITING QUESTIONS FOR THE DOCUMENTS
In small groups, please: • Make note of pg. 16. This is one way to help students organize their thoughts. • Write an instructions sheet that explains how students should complete the DBQ (letter to Aunt Bessie). Be specific about your requirements and expectations. • Make a rubric that clearly delineates for the teacher and the students how the DBQ will be assessed. Make sure you are clear about how and how often students need to cite evidence. (Pg. 17 provides a template.) Assessing the DBQ
Write your own letter to Aunt Bessie. How will you spend your $1,000,00?
