Dbq Outline Template

FORMAT:

The DBQ is made up of two sections: SCAFFOLDING & ESSAY

SCAFFOLDING: Documents (quotes, passages, cartoons, or

pictures) are given. Students must examine the documents and

answer the questions that follow. Answers must be written in

COMPLETE SENTENCES.

TIPS FOR SCAFFOLDING QUESTIONS

1. Before beginning the scaffolding section read

the essay question.

2. As you read the documents think about the

essay question that you will be answering.

Ask yourself: “How will this document help me

to answer the essay question?”

3. Be sure to read the introduction to the

document. This may provide you with

important information such as: the title, author,

date, or context of the document.

4. Make sure to fully answer the question(s).

Many questions may require you to explain

your answer. Some questions may ask for

examples.

5. Make sure that you answer the questions

using complete sentences. You will not

receive full credit for partial sentences.
