[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate DBQ's. It's a way if making history fact free. All you need to answer the essay is in the documents - no actual hisorical facts. For example, in 7th grade World Studies, you have to know what cultural dissemination is and be able to pock an example out of the documents, but you do not have to have any knowledge yourself about different cultures in history and how they disseminated across the globe. Often the reading level of the MCPS DBQ is not commensurate with the reading level of the grade or student. The documents are so fragmentary that often kids have to make shit up to fill in the gaps enough to create a sensible essay.[/quote] Where do you think historical facts come from? Documents, duh! My SS is headed to law school. He credits writing DBQs in his AP history courses with teaching him how to craft a solid argument with evidence.[/quote]
