DBQ Writing Samples
S-1DBQ WRITING SAMPLESWORLD HISTORY PROJECT / LESSON 6.4 ACTIVITYSTUDENT MATERIALSPurposeIn order to improve your writing skills, it is important to read examples—both good and bad—written by other people. Reviewing writing samples will help you develop and practice your own skills in order to better understand what makes for a strong essay. ProcessYour teacher will provide sample essays for this unit’s DBQ prompt and provide instructions for how you will use them to refine your writing skills. Whether you’re working with a high-level example or improving on a not-so-great essay, we recommend having the WHP Writing Rubric on hand to help better understand how you can improve your own writing. As you work to identify and improve upon aspects of a sample essay, you’ll also be developing your own historical writing skills! Unless otherwise noted, this work is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
