Today, we start to write the DBQ. This essay will be written completely in class. This is the final assessment of this Reconstruction Era. This essay will be 25% of your Q1 Grade.
Task One:
Let's write the introduction. Often with a DBQ there is a CONTEXT and much or all of the introduction can be written from this information. This DBQ's "context" does include a THESIS STATEMENT so students can simply rewrite it for a proper introduction. Please take 7 minutes to write the introduction.
Task Two:
Reviewing the documents. This DBQ has 9 documents. That means 3 documents will be used in each body paragraph. Take 2 minutes to try and determine which documents go with which body paragraph. Let's match them up.
Task Three:
Create a cheat sheet. We are now going to give you 5 minutes to write down reminders on a half sheet of paper. Write anything that will ensure you follow the steps to writing a DBQ Body Paragraph. You can staple the cheat sheet to your DBQ so you have access to it throughout the writing process.
Task Four:
Study and analyze the 3 documents for body paragraph #1. Remember, we ask that you underline 3-5 key words/key phrases only. This analysis should take 7-10 minutes.
Task Five:
Write your first body paragraph. The hope is that this paragraph will be written by the end of Tuesday. Mr C and Ms C hope to grade this paragraph before you write your last 2 paragraphs. Good luck!
DBQ GRADING:
Body paragraph 1 - 30 points
Body paragraph 2 - 30 points
Body paragraph 3 - 30 points
Conclusion - 10 points
HW: 20 MINUTES OF READING WITH POST ITS
