The DBQ basically integrates analysis of the documents in which are supplied while demonstrating knowledge of the historical period.

Thesis Paragraph: Write an intro. sentence that sets the scene; Make sure if you present a counter argument that you address it briefly here; Specify 2-4 sub-topics to the thesis

Body Paragraph 1: Topic sentences introducing sub-topic #1; Support the sentence with outside information (i.e. proper nouns) support your outside information with a reference to the documents. Write a sentence which relates this topic specifically to the thesis (READERs Love this!) and then a transitional sentence

For the remained of your essay follow the same type of procedure with the different sub-topics.

Conclusion: DO not just restate your thesis, analyze a little be more here.

Make sure to use as many documents as possible, and find at least 2 pieces of outside information for each one.
