The DBQ is basically like the APUSH FRQ. You write a normal essay with your introduction containing a thesis, etc, then you’re 2 or 3 body paragraphs and a conclusion. The only difference is you have to utilize the documetns. you’re not suppose to say “Doc A says this…” your suppose to make a connection/inference off of it. Also, at minimum you must use half of the documents. To get a 9 you must use all but one document, or even all of them. You can still get around a 7 using a little more than half of the documents, but the more you use the better (as long as you use them well!) It’s better to use 6 of 10 documetns well than 10 documents poorly. If you’re struggling with time or something, no matter what, I’d say use at least one more than half of the documents. Anyways, I hope this helps, may luck be with us this Friday…
