DBQ TipsThesis

Make an argument based on the questiono Ex: Did status improve or decline Pick one and argue for it (or at least say it did more of one than the

other)o Ex: What were the actions or reactions Pick one or more and argue for it

Documents & Evidence

Make sure you address every single document at some point in your essay Quoting the documents doesn’t prove “understanding” and can’t be counted as “evidence” Analyze the documents individually

o “Docs 2,3,4 all show that…” is fine for a grouping statement, but not for “addressing”, “understanding”, or “evidence”

“Understanding” means demonstrating a correct analysis of the document’s content “Evidence” means using the information in the document to prove why your argument is correct

Groupings

Groupings must support your thesiso If your thesis is “Women’s rights improved”, don’t do a grouping showing how rights declinedo Groupings must have 2 or more documents to qualify as a group

Point of View (PoV)

“Point of View” means explaining why a person’s gender/occupation/location/religion/etc affect their opinion. PoV cannot be analyzed as a group

o Ex: Since Docs 2, 3, and 4 all come from women, they are obviously biased A PoV explanation needs to explain “why” a bias exists or “how” a bias affects a person…not simply state that a

bias exists.

Additional Document Requests

You have to request an actual document (ex: a diary, a royal decree, a shipping manifest) You have to explain how this document would contribute to your argument
