Document-Based Assessment for Global History

To prepare students to write essay answers to document-based questions (DBQs), this practical activity book guides them step by step through the analysis of primary and secondary source quotations. Reproducible pages present 23 DBQs addressing topics ranging from ancient Greece to the spread of Islam, civilizations of the Americas, the Industrial Revolution, imperialism in India and Africa, and the decolonization and independence movements of 1945-75. For each topic, students are helped in the interpretation of half a dozen quotes, while teachers are provided with specific answer keys, a scoring rubric for the essays, and (sometimes) sample essays with suggested grades. Grades 9-12. JWW601.
