The DBQ Project
Igniting Inquiry: Teaching with DBQs to Engage Students in Historical Literacy




The DBQ Project was founded in 2000 to support teachers and students in learning to read smart, think straight, and write more clearly. As teachers, we believe all students can develop high-level critical thinking skills if they have consistent instruction and a chance to practice. We also believe that when we provide teachers with materials that blend educational best practices  and content-specific questions, we promote and support transformational change in our schools.

Important Session Information:


Looking for ways to teach history through an inquiry approach? Looking for strategies to engage students with primary sources and historical thinking? Document-based questions (DBQs) are often used as a way to assess a student's historical and analytical thinking skills and argumentative writing abilities. DBQs can also be used to teach historical content, literacy, and thinking skills in a student-centered approach. This session will take teachers through all the steps of the DBQ process in a lively, interactive way, providing strategies and approaches for teaching with DBQs to all students.
