AP World History 3d Quarter Project 2008: Create a DBQ
Students will be assigned a topic from the list below. Using this topic, students will
develop a DBQ essay prompt and DBQ essay question. The essay question and
prompt will follow exactly the AP World History format. You will have to include at
least 5 and not more than 10 document excerpts for your DBQ question. Document
excerpts can be relevant quotations, maps, textbook entries, histories, statistical
charts, photos, paintings (or other relevant art) cartoons, etc. Preferably, you will
provide a mix of different document types. Text documents should be short, not more
than a paragraph or two. With each document, you must also identify the source, the
time and/or date that the document was produced, and/or the time or date to which the
document refers.
You will be assigned a topic by printing this document out, picking a document from
the list (underline or circle), plus two alternates, and submitting it to me (with your
name on it) in class. First come, first served. Deadline to choose a topic is February
1. After that you automatically get a zero for the assignment.
After putting together your DBQ with the documents, you will also provide a sample
answer. This answer should follow the AP World History rubric, be typed, single
spaced in a 12 font. The answer should not exceed two pages. All pages will then be
stapled together, with the DBQ Question at the beginning, followed by your
documents, and finally your suggested DBQ Answer.
You will be graded both on the quality of your DBQ prompt, documents, and answer.
