Gallopade's Document-Based Questions series breaks down the DBQ process into smaller, scaffolded steps:
1. First, students learn to analyze individual primary and secondary sources using guided text-based and primary source-based questions.
2. Next, students apply higher-order thinking skills to read for information, compare and contrast, identify causes and effects, categorize information, arrange events into chronological order, identify point of view and purpose, and much more!
3. As students complete the critical-thinking activities on each individual page, they develop a deeper understanding of the social studies topic being covered.
4. Finally, students use these same sources to answer a big-picture DBQ question!
