The DBQ Project
<p>The DBQ Project is for-profit and produces high school and middle school appropriate materials inspired by the document based question exercise in Advanced Placement History tests.</p>
<p>Binders are available in long and short versions. Long version DBQs are typically 14-17 documents in length, while short version DBQs average 9-10 documents. Many of the short version textual documents have been edited to accommodate reading levels. All binders include documents, background essays, essay questions, and a Teacher’s Toolkit with materials to assist teachers in teaching the process of answering document based questions. A typical DBQ title requires 2-5 days of instruction.</p>
<p>American History titles available are: What Caused the Salem Witch Trial Hysteria in 1692? How Revolutionary Was the American Revolution? How Democratic Was Andrew Jackson? The California Gold Rush: A Personal Journey. What Caused the Civil War? How Violent Was the Old West? Was Andrew Carnegie a Hero? What Caused the Great Depression? Martin Luther King and Malcolm X: Whose Philosophy Made the Most Sense for America in the 1960s? Why Was the Equal Rights Amendment Defeated?</p>
<p>Sample pages are available in pdf form. Titles cannot be ordered online, but an order form can be downloaded from the DBQ website.</p>
