The DBQ Project
Teaching with DBQs 102: Overcoming the Challenges by Scaffolding the Inquiry Process




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:


This session is open to participants who have attended an introductory DBQ session, have implemented a DBQ in their classroom, and looking for ways to take the next steps in teaching with DBQs. Continuing with the notion that DBQs can be used to teach historical thinking and literacy skills in a student-centered approach, this training will focus on ways to utilize bits-and-pieces of a DBQ unit in short one- or two-day lessons. The goal of these smaller lessons is to target and build skills. We’ll also take a closer look at student essays, scoring and grading, and how to advance that writing from good to great.
