How do I construct a DBQ? (document bassed question)

Deffense [45]

Step 1: Answer each question in Part A.
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.

Step 2: Compose a thesis statement.
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:

"Many societies have held different viewpoints regarding the process of governmental 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."

Step 3: Organize the essay.
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.

Step 5: Write the introduction.
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.

Step 6: Write the body paragraphs.
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.

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.

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.

What effect did the Transylvania Purchase have on the Watauga settlement

Helga [31]

The Transylvania Colony was founded during 1775 by Richard Henderson, who controlled the North Carolina-based Transylvania Company. He and his investors reached an agreement to purchase a vast tract of Cherokee lands. Later on, the Wilderness Road was established going from Cumberland Gap into Southeastern Kentucky. The Watauga settlement was the site of this “real state” transaction: the Transylvania Purchase. The Watauga leaders asked the Cherokee to convert the lease of lands into a purchase.

However, this created serious disagreements and heat discussions in such a way the tribe had to appeal both Virginia and North Carolina for support to the defeat of the British. In 1780 England again invaded the southern colonies The consequence was the Battle of King's Mountain (1780), in which the British force was destroyed. As we can see, the Wataugans had a key role in the failure of the British master plan of 1780 and the following collapse of efforts to control the colonies.

After the Revolution,a group of the Wataugans wanted to create their own state of Franklin. In August 1784,a state government was hastily constructed. North Carolina, seeing most of its western lands usurped by the mountain men, contested the existence of the state. Anyways, by 1788 the state ceased to exist. The legacy of the Watauga Settlement remains as the county stands as a heritage of being part of the first community west of the Appalachians.

Which descriptive research method allows a psychologist to draw cause-and-effect conclusions?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

To draw cause and effect conclusions, one needs to conduct a formal experiment, sometimes called a control experiment. The independent variable in this type of experiment is the only thing that is allowed to changed so the experimenter is able to conclude that the it is the independent variable which affected the dependent variable. In other words the independent variable effects the dependent variable, and it is the only thing that can effect the dependent variable. This is not true in correlational experiments. Remember the oft repeated phrase that correlation does not mean causation. In other words, a lot of people carry umbrellas on a rainy day (there is a correlation between rainy days and people carrying umbrellas) but the umbrella carrying people did not cause the rain.
