5 0

<span>Step 1: Answer each question in Part A. 
</span>Carefully read or view each document relating to the DBQ question, and answer the question that follows each document. Use factual information and base your answer to each question on the specific document to which it is related, and be sure to compose each answer using complete sentences.

<span>Step 2: Compose a thesis statement.
</span>Read the task section in of the DBQ essay question and analyze it in order to figure out what it is asking you to do. Key words used in the task may include:

Discuss means "to make observations about something using facts, reasoning, and argument; to present in some detail."

Describe means "to illustrate something in words or tell about it."

Show means "to point out; to set forth clearly a position or idea by stating it and giving data to support it."

Explain means "to make plain or understandable; to give reasons for or causes of; to show the logical development or relationships of" (Global Studies Regents, June, 1997).

Once you understand what the task is asking you to write about, compose a thesis statement that addresses these issues. For example, the sample DBQ below contains a task that could be reworded to form a thesis statement such as:

<span>"Many<span> societies have held different viewpoints regarding the process of governmental</span> decision-making and about the role of citizens in the political decision-making process. Therefore, several types of political systems have evolved over time, from those that are controlled absolutely as well as some that follow a democratic tradition. Regardless of the type of government, there are obvious advantages and disadvantages involved in both types of political systems."</span>

<span>Step 3: Organize the essay.
</span><span>Organize the information that you want to use in your essay through the use of an outline. During this pre-writing step, you should brainstorm as many facts as possible that could be used in your essay. Also make sure that you are addressing the task as well as the requirements from the rubric.</span>

Step 5: Write the introduction.
<span>A. Revisit the historical context and determine if you can use part or all of this statement in your introduction.
B. Insert your thesis statement from step three.
C. If your thesis does not address the body paragraphs that will follow, compose a sentence that briefly introduces    each topic.</span>

<span><span>Step 6: Write the body paragraphs.
</span>Write the first body paragraph. Be sure to include all of the following components: 
topic sentence, supporting evidence in the body sentences, and a closing sentence. Follow this same format as you write the additional body paragraphs. Compose additional paragraphs if necessary in order to completely answer the essay question.</span>

<span>Be sure to use most of the documents provided by the teacher in order to provide evidence which proves your
thesis statement, and to meet the criteria in the rubric to earn a full credit for your essay.</span> 

<span>Step 7: Write the conclusion.
Summarize the subject of the essay. You can often do this by restating the question in a different way. Explain what you concluded about the essay question. Summarize how the information in the body of your essay proves your point.</span>
