29. DBQ PREP

30. DBQ 2003 German Civil Peace

31. Step #1 – source analysis
Look for caveats for each source
Circle anything that stands out
Make notations in RIGHT margin of DBQ
This is anything that shows the writer has some kind of bias or purpose
purpose, tone, reliability, attribution, bias
Examples:
Look at the picture in doc #2 – see any tone? How do you know?
What is the purpose for doc #1 – how do you know?

32. Step #2 – document analysis
Look for ways the document can answer the question
In this case, you’re looking for a change in the view toward the “civil peace”
First off, what IS this “civil peace”
Then, show attitude toward it
You should find support in the beginning, waning support as the war drags on, and anger toward the end
See if the docs support that…
Make these notations in the LEFT margin

33. Step #3 – Organize documents
Choose three (or more) “chunks”
In this DBQ, I’d go for three periods of time which show a change in view
Group docs into three boxes
Number them together
Then, label the boxes: why did you group them like you did?

34. Step #4 – Thesis development
What is a direct answer to the question?
Develop an opinion which clearly answers the question, but is NOT a statement of fact
Be ready to describe what you mean. This, and your contextualization will be your opening paragraph

35. Step #5 – Contextualize What is the bigger picture?
How does this subject fit into time and development of the era?
How might this subject fit into a larger picture of Europe at this time?
Prepare to slide this into your opening paragraph

36. Step #7 – Outside information
What else is going on at this time that is NOT mentioned in these docs?
What can be mentioned to help support ideas presented, but was not presented?
Be prepared to do two things with this info:
Be ready to describe it in several sentences
Tie it into the subject and show connections
Example:
What do you know about William II’s attitude?
What do you know about the Shlieffen Plan?
What do you know about trench warfare?
Can any of this support any ideas in this DBQ?

37. Homework: Have all these done: Thesis Contextualization
POV markings for each doc on right side
DOC analysis for each doc on left side
Three boxes
Label each box
Outside information (at least a full sentence)

39. What makes a good thesis
Show you understand all parts of the question
Show you can glean some ideas to show some analysis from the docs in opening paragraph
Fill up a page with your analysis

40. Example: Docs have dif. purpose
Good: “Since Benjamin Disraeli was delivering a speech to the House of Commons, he probably chose his words carefully to persuade members to support his political agenda (doc. 2).” “Lord Rosebery was writing a letter to a newspaper, which was clearly a public forum; therefore, this document could be viewed as a form of propaganda (doc. 8).” Bad “Since Archibald Philip Primrose is writing a letter, he is being honest (doc. 8).” Why is this unacceptable? This statement fails to account for the fact that Primrose is writing a letter for a newspaper, which is a very public document, not a private correspondence.

41. What it means to analyze docs
Show you know what the intention of the document is, in relation to the question
DO NOT QUOTE
Show you’re using the document to prove your thesis

42. Other elements Contextualization Outside Information Conclusion
Show how this subject fits into a larger picture
Make this CLEAR AND OBVIOUS
(Include this in opening paragraph)
Outside Information
Make this it’s own paragraph
Make the opening sentence a clear reference to outside information
Conclusion
Your last chance to prove you proved your thesis

43. Final clean-up Put numbers of docs in outside margin
Label POV in same margin where you attempted POV
Verify you used a majority of the docs
Label Contextualization
Label Outside information
