DBQ Tips
Thesis
Make an argument based on the question
Ex: Did status improve or decline Pick one and argue for it (or at least say it did more of one than the other)
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 doesnt prove understanding and cant be counted as evidence
Analyze the documents individually
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 documents content
Evidence means using the information in the document to prove why your argument is correct
Groupings
Groupings must support your thesis
If your thesis is Womens rights improved, dont do a grouping showing how rights declined
Groupings must have 2 or more documents to qualify as a group
Point of View (PoV)
Point of View means explaining why a persons gender/occupation/location/religion/etc affect their opinion.
PoV cannot be analyzed as a group
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 personnot 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
