Next week students will be taking a Document Based Question (DBQ) Exam on the Great Depression and New Deal. This is a great way to analyze primary sources as well as prepare for PSSA testing coming up in April. To prepare for this, students may practice with this DBQ. This is not an assigned homework, but is a great way for students to practice and see what to expect on the test. We have been working this entire unit on understanding primary sources and pulling answers from the text, so I am confident our students will do great things on it!
Here is a link explaining what a DBQ is and some tips on how to work through them

Here is the link to the practice DBQ for students to look at
If students have any questions on the practice DBQ, they may see me on Monday to discuss it.
