AP History - Introduction to Writing DBQs (Document Based Questions)

This is a DBQ activity that I made to introduce students to the basic concepts of analysis. It was made for an AP World History class, but can be used just as well for AP Euro or AP US. The DBQ is ahistorical (based on a set of fictitious events in a fictitious school) and therefore can be given to students fairly early on, before they look at any real DBQs. I tried to construct the documents in such a way that each one gradually introduces a new concept (the first doc contradicts the sec doc, doc seven is a picture, etc.)

I made the resource very specific to the students I was teaching at the time (Chinese Students), but this can be edited to better suit your own students if so desired.
