How to Write a DBQ Essay

Historical Concerns:

1. Read the question and the historical background very carefully.

• Think about the question.

• What is the question asking you to do? Decide.

• Pay attention to the time frame of the question.

2. Before you read the documents, make a list of historical facts you want to include in the essay. This is your outside information.

3. Read the documents carefully.

• “SOAPS” each document.

• Think about how you may use each document and make notes.

• Make a list of facts, information, and ideas from the documents you want to include in the essay.

4. You should try to use most of the documents (at least 5).

• Do not simply cite the documents in a “laundry list” fashion.

• Try to impose order on the documents. Find groupings for the documents.

• Can they be organized into a format? What is the overall picture presented by the documents?

5. Your essay should be an analysis of the documents and their content. You are demonstrating analysis if you are doing the following:

• The essay contains a thesis. The thesis is what you intend to prove.

• The documents are used as evidence to support your thesis.

• Frequent reference is made to the terms of the question. Be certain your answer is focused on the question and that you do not get off topic.

Literary Concerns:

1. Proper essay style is used (think 5 paragraph format where applicable).

• The thesis provides an answer to the question and divides the answer into categories.

• The essay has an adequate introduction in which the time frame is noted.

• Grammar and spelling are adequate.

• You have not referred to yourself in the document and you have not told readers what they are “going to learn”.

• A conclusion exists which summarizes the evidence and restates the thesis.

2. Base your comments on the documents.

• Include information from the documents and information not in the documents.

• Quotations are limited and used only within the context of your answer.

• When you use information from the documents, include the letter of the document at the end of the sentence to show which document you have used.

3. All parts of the question have been answered.
