1. How To DBQ

2. Analyze each doc- figure out how it answers the question
Decide on HIPP for 5 doc
You only have to do ONE part of HIPP
Organize the docs into groups that will fit your thesis
2 groups- decide which is X and which will be A/B
Write thesis

3. Body Paragraphs Topic Sentence from thesis
How the Doc answers the prompt (repeat for all docs in the paragraph)
HIPP if you’re doing it for that doc
1 piece of outside evidence that supports your topic sentence
ANALYSIS STATEMENT- just like in LEs

4. Use Of Documents Use EVERY doc HIPP for 5 Docs
NEVER say “In Doc #, . . .”
Use the doc to answer the question
CITE THE DOC AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE (Doc 3)
You don’t HAVE to reference the author, but you can (just don’t do it for every doc- it gets repetitive)

5. Doc A
Industrialization caused a decrease in the cost of food and fuel which benefitted many Americans because it allowed easier access to goods. (Doc A) During the Gilded Age, new technology allowed for goods to be mass produced, thus reducing the cost of many items (Context).

6. Doc A
A chart of indexed prices shows the cost of food and fuel gradually reducing from as a result of industrialization (Doc A). The context of this chart was the growth of industrialization in the Gilded Age, during which new technology allowed for goods to be mass produced, thus reducing the cost of many items.

7. Outside evidence Something Specific- like you do with SAQs
Person, date, law, event- a “key term/people”
Explain how it proves your point
1 per paragraph
Can be at the end or after a doc that it is related to

8. Analysis Statements Same as Long Essays
Comparison- analyze WHY they are the same or WHY they are different
CCOT- analyze WHY it was a continuity or change
Causation- analyze WHY is was a cause or effect (WHY did it cause something to happen or WHY was it an effect)
Periodization- explain HOW different or similar the time period to the time period before and/or after

9. Reminders
CCOT- be sure to explain HOW it was a change or continuity. Reference the before/after to prove it.
Example: A major change was her hair color. She changed it from blonde to red. OR Her hair color was a major continuity because it was blonde all through her high school years.
Also- you have to talk about continuities AND changes!
Comparison- Be sure that you have DIRECT COMPARISON. You have to talk about BOTH THINGS in EVERY PARAGRAPH.
