Elementary DBQs 101: An Introduction to Engaging Students with Historical Inquiry
Description:
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 DBQs can also be used to teach historical
content, literacy, and thinking skills in a student-centered approach.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.
