Unit+4+DBQ+Help!!!

Many of you have requested to see sample DBQ answers. I thought it would be best to put up examples of the 2004 DBQ that we just got done discussing in class. Read through these, as they will help you in understanding what makes a "quality" DBQ essay. (A good exercise would also be for you to read through the scoring guidelines and then try to grade each essay to see how close you came to what the readers considered to be a good essay.)

- This is a copy of the 2004 DBQ. - The second page of this document gives the scoring guidelines that the AP readers used when scoring this essay. - This document shows three different student responses to the 2004 DBQ. (Note - they are photocopies of their actual handwritten answers, which may make it a little difficult to read at times. I apologize for the students' sloppy handwriting!) - This document shows the scores that each of the three essays received
