Aren't they cute????
FYI, a DBQ is a specific kind of assignment used in the social studies (mostly history). Think of it as an "essay kit" - it provides you with all the information you need to write an essay on an assigned topic. You do need to bring your background knowledge and learning to the task at hand, but the DBQ provides supporting information to help you do a good job.
This DBQ is based on - guess what! - the causes of the Revolutionary War. You have a packet with a number of sources (primary and secondary) for you to review. Each source has some analytical questions for you to answer. Then, when you are done reviewing the material and your background knowledge, you'll use your learning to help you frame an answer in a traditional five paragraph essay. We will be breaking this down step by step over the course of the next few days, so it will be VERY IMPORTANT for you to know where your class materials are and keep them in order.
HOMEWORK: Choose ONE of the small-group tasks (not the vocabulary one, however) to answer fully and completely in writing. Write out the question along with the answer. PUT IT ON SEPARATE PAPER, PLEASE. Do NOT just show me your notes tomorrow and claim you did it!
