The DBQ Project Workshop
Secondary Teachers of Social Studies and ELA
What Is It?
The Document Based Question (DBQ) Project is an effort to make available high quality critical thinking exercises to all students. The program takes its inspiration from the document-based question that is a part of the history Advanced Placement tests given every May and is designed to support teachers and students in learning to read smart, critically think, and write more clearly. The lessons increase student engagement and address both content and literacy standards. With an emphasis on high-level critical thinking skills supported by materials that blend educational best practices and content-specific questions, transformational change will take place in students reading and writing skills. Participants will leave with their choice of a Social Studies subject area DBQ or a full DBQ binder (depending on amount paid).
