Elementary DBQs 102: Overcoming the Challenges by Scaffolding the Inquiry Process
Description: 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.
