PS - Some hints about the
DBQ Rubric
The first two points are identical to the LEQ. You must have a thesis with a clear and identifiable claim that can be defended (argued). If you do not earn this point then there are several other point that you also cannot earn. The second point is for context, remember that this should be in the introductory paragraph, should be 4ish sentences, and should provide historical information about the time period that the prompt is within (but don't dive into your argument quite yet).
The next 4 points on the rubric are different and bear explanation so pay close attention.
First - you earn one point for simply using 3 documents correctly in your essay (you are able to correctly relate them to the prompt). This should be an easy point to earn! (this is a point you can earn even if you do not have a thesis).
Second - you earn another rubric point for using 6 documents
to support your claim/argument! This means that not only do you correctly relate them to the prompt you use them as evidence to support your argument made in your claim.
Third - you earn another rubric point by doing HIPP analysis for 3 documents in your essay. This one is tricky! It does not matter which element of HIPP (Historical context, Intended audience, purpose or point of view) you use for each of the 3 documents. You could do purpose for all 3, your could mix and match, it is up to you! You need to write it out and make sense.
The trick is that your HIPP analysis should also support your argument! If you don't do this, then you cannot earn the point! I recommend doing HIPP for all 6 documents in your essay, this way if one or more do not qualify as HIPP analysis you give yourself more opportunities to earn the point.
Fourth - You earn another rubric point for including at least one piece of evidence that DOES NOT COME from the documents. That is the main thing to pay attention to, the information cannot be found in the documents or else it does not count! This also means that if you use 6 documents then at least one of your paragraphs should be a 3-chunk paragraph to account for that outside evidence. It is up to you on how you want to organize this portion!
Fifth - A final note is that you want to make it as easy as possible on the reader/grader (in this case me). Anything you do that you think meets the criteria for a rubric point you should cite with parenthetical citations. So if you use a document then you should put a citation at the end of the sentence (doc 1). If you do a HIPP analysis with purpose for that document then you should cite that (PUR). When you drop your outside evidence cite that (OE). When you place your synthesis (that weird last point for analysis) you should cite that as well (Snyth). Any time you think you are earning a rubric point cite it! You may not always get the point that you think you earned but you increase your chances that it will be noticed and considered.
If there are any questions please feel free to email me! I am sorry I will not be there to do this with you but I have faith in everyone's ability to do this well!
Live long and prosper,
Mr. Marchetti
