

3 sentences of context, connecting the topic of the prompt to the broader themes of that time period. Context has to be relevant to the prompt, not just random information happening at that time. For example, George Washington was married to Martha at the same time he was leading the Continental Army. Great for jeopardy but not for an essay. It is not relevant to the topic. 2-3 sentences or more for thesis: Directly answer the prompt, include your evidence, and a statement about how/why regarding your evidence. (Note: The how/why is your level of reasoning that if you look on the rubrics for both the DBQ and LEQ, has to be included in thesis.

After you have completed your 1st paragraph, you have to outline your evidence. For one piece of evidence, explain in a paragraph how this would support your thesis. Use the format below: Evidence 1_________________________

Evidence 2_________________________

Evidence 3_________________________

Pick one evidence from above and explain how it supports your thesis.

How will you be graded? You will be graded according to the LEQ rubric criteria for context, thesis, identifying examples, using appropriate thinking skill, and explaining how 1 evidence supports thesis. (5 points total). The LEQ rubric is on my website for your review.
