DBQ Prewriting Practice Sheet

Directions
: During the 10-minute reading period, use the table below to jot down your
thoughts on each of the documents in the practice DBQ packet. As we review the documents
as a class, feel free to jot down additional information about the documents.
Remember
:
1. a documents summary is identifying what the document says (face value; plot
summary);
2. a documents analysis is explaining what the document means (how the document
relates to the prompt);
3. a documents POV discusses the perspective of the document (the motive of the
author in writing the document; identifying the validity of the document, etc.);
4. a documents POV indicates in which group the document belongs (you need at least
3 groups of at least 2 docs each).
