DBQ 101: An Introduction to Teaching with DBQs - 37448
This session guides teachers through the full DBQ process—from engaging students with compelling questions to analyzing primary and secondary sources and writing evidence-based arguments. Participants will experience a DBQ as learners, then shift to the teacher perspective to explore strategies for building content knowledge, literacy, and critical thinking. Teachers will leave with practical tools to increase the use of primary sources, rigor, and higher-order thinking, and authentic writing opportunities in their classrooms.

Objectives
Given a DBQ primary- and secondary-source set and an inquiry rubric, Social Studies educators new to DBQs will design an evidence-based writing task and a scaffolded source-analysis activity that promote higher-order thinking and historical literacy.
