About the DBQ Essay

•Will only involve units 3-8 (the core units)
•Use at least 6 (Best to use all)
•Must have a Thesis Statement (I require it in 1st paragraph)
•7 Point Rubric
•2 Points Use of Document (Describe vs. Explain)
•Use 3 documents correctly and get one point
•Use 6 documents correctly and get two points
•HIPP Factors (to get the 3rd point on document use)
•Historical Content
•Intended Audience
•Purpose
•Point of View
•In scoring the DBQ the requirement that the documents be used to support the stated argument is only present for the first two document analysis points, not the third.
​
•For the third point, the only requirement is that students explain the significance of an element such as historical context, author’s point of view, intended purpose, or audience. (HIPP) The rubric does not define how a student can do this. But the student DOES have to explain why knowing this background information about the author or text helps inform their reading of a text.
