March 13/16: Developing Guiding Questions

Group Check-in:

​Add primary source + MLA citation to group packet

Individual Tasks Today: 

Develop questions for your document

• Make sure questions can be answered with info. available in the Group doc (a combo of your source, the background text or any other sources a group member is including in the DBQ packet)
• Make sure questions help guide someone to understand your specific topic as it relates to your country’s fight for independence (or for South Africa, racial equality)
• Make sure questions are asked at the appropriate level (low, med., high)
• Ideally, high level questions include evaluation and/or synthesis using more than one document (yours plus at least one other member’s and/or the background essay).
• Depending on your assigned topic, Ideally, you have at least one question that connects your topic to the compelling question (“can we resolve conflict peacefully?”) and/or research question (“what causes independence movements?”)

• Answer your questions using only the DBQ packet source(s) -- this is part of checking to be sure the questions are appropriate
