This lesson aims to show teachers and students how to develop a historical argument using Documents Based AP History (DBQ) documents. We will use developed paragraphs written to answer the APWH Modern 2019 (Portuguese in the Indian Ocean DBQ) to show students and teachers how corroboration, qualification, and modification analysis from the DBQ and Long Essay Question (LEQ) rubrics can be accomplished.
Note: This lesson should be taught realizing the College Board AP History DBQ rubric updates for 2023 and 2024, which has students sourcing only 2 documents, not 3, and using only 4 documents to support their historical argument(s), not 6.
Follow the new course exam framework and prepare students with long essay questions (LEQs), document-based questions (DBQs), and a complete practice exam.
