Preparation
Students should have the handout which includes a sample DBQ instructions page, the prompt, and the documents to be used. This presentation will focus on question #3 from the book DBQ Practice: AP World History.

Dialogue
The AP World History exam contains three different types of essays: a COMPARE and CONTRAST essay, a CHANGE OVER TIME essay, and a DOCUMENT-BASED QUESTION.

For the next few days, we will focus on the last type of essay, which is commonly referred to as a DBQ. A DBQ requires analysis of primary sources.

Let’s look at the sample material provided. We will use a step-by-step method to analyze both the question and the documents provided.
