The Free Response and DBQ rubrics used in class are slightly different then what the evaluators will use when scoring the actual college board exam The rubrics we utilize have been developed using a more rigorous standard and will therefore better prepare you as a writer The in-class DBQ rubric most closely resembles the College Board version given the nature ofa core-scoring assessment tool The in-class free response rubric was designed by synthesizing the AP and PSSA rubrics with special emphasis on the essays thesis statement and content
The anchors included in this packet are published by the College Board They are student anchors from previous exams (2002 amp 2001) The anchors will include the following scoring guidelines student samples and evaluator commentary You will find that our grading standard is slightly higher then the evaluators on the College Board As a result we have also posted various in-class anchor papers from former CB West students on the bulletin boards in our rooms We encourage you to look over both sets ofanchor papers so you can get the best sense of what is expected from you in class and on the AP exam

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views

Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance

Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views

Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

Document-Based Essay Question Components
Description (provided by College Board)
The primary purpose of the document-based essay question is NOT to test students prior knowledge of subject matter but rather to evaluate their ability to formulate and support an answer from documentary evidence It is assumed students have taken the course and understand the broader historical context Documents are chosen on the basis of both the information they convey about the topic and the perspective that they offer on other documents used in the exercise Thus the fullest understanding of any particular document emerges only when the document is viewed within the wider context of the entire series Designed to test skills analogous to those of the historian at work on source materials the document-based exercise differs from the task of actual historians mainly in the time available for analysis and the prearranged sequence of the documents which helps illuminate the specifics of the question There is no single correct answer instead various approaches and responses are possible depending on the students ability to understand the documents and ultimately to judge their significance
In writing the essay candidates might find it useful to consider the following points The document-based question is an exercise in both analysis and synthesis It requires that students first read and analyze the documents individually and then plan and construct an appropriate response to the essay question based upon their interpretation of the documentary evidence as a whole What is desired is a unified essay which integrates analysis of documents with treatment of the topic
Specific mention of individual documents should always occur within the framework of the overall topic serving to substantiate and illustrate points made in the essay It is not necessary that every document be cited in the essay The way in which students approach the topic provides a good indication of their understanding of the question and their ability to weigh the evidence In no case should documents simply be cited and explained in a laundry list fashion reference to the documentary material must always be closely tied to the essay topic Evidence from the documents should be utilized both to construct and to illustrate responses
One way to approach the documents is to read all of them in order of presentation returning tot he more important for further study There are no irrelevant or deliberately misleading documents Some documents are more central to an understanding of the topic than others but every one is related to the question and can be used by students in the preparation of their essays Even a superior essay does not have to make implicit or explicit use of all the documents because different combinations of documents may be used to support various lines of reasoning
Critical judgment is essential to a good document-based essay Awareness of the documents sources and their authors points ofview requires students to demonstrate the skills of critical reading and inference Students should pay attention to both internal evidence (the content and tone of each document in relation to the others) and external evidence (identifications of authors the documents purpose or intended audience and the date when each document was written) Thus a student reading critically may group or juxtapose documents in a variety ofways (for instance according their ideas or points ofview) suggest reasons for similarities or differences in perspective among the documents and identify possible bias or inconsistencies within the documents
The most common errors in student responses to document-based questions include simply paraphrasing or summarizing the documents failing to integrate the documents with the essay failing to answer the question that is being asked failing to analyze the documents or determine their significance and failing to demonstrate that independent thought has gone into the essay Students may refer to historical facts and developments not mentioned in the documents as long as these references are accurate and relevant As a result the AP European History Development Committee strongly urges teachers to ensure that students know how to do what is asked of them For example students should be instructed to read carefully the directions and the questions to evaluate sources and authors points of view and to exercise critical judgment
DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

AP European History 2001 SCORING COMMENTARY
Part A Document-Based Essay
Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3

DBQ Tips Make sure you know what the question is asking Pay attention to point ofview of the author ofeach document Take into account social disposition of author Look for tone (sarcasm etc) Look carefully at date Look for change over time in the documents Documents arent always factual information but express an opinion or perception Dont take liberties with the documents Cite the documents that you use either with author or number Do not just use documents in chronological order in your essay (too easy) Use at least half plus one of the documents more if possible Thesis shouldnt be a simple restatement of the question Do not ramble Rule ofthumb-3-three problems three solutions three arguments Answer the question There is not one right answer Use a grid or chart to organize your information Be sure your conclusion goes beyond a mere summary to a statement of importance
Point of View
-Why is POV important The crucial skill teachers and readers are looking for in a students approach to documents is the awareness that documents are not statements of facts but descriptions intcrprctationsor opinions of events and developments made by particular people at particular places and times and often for specific reasons Too often students write essays in which they take the documents at face value Instead students should be applying critical thinking skills to documents evaluating whether they are likely to be accurate and complete and in what ways the author of the document may be revealing bias
-College Board
How can students demonstrate awareness of POV -examples are from the 2000 ritualsfestivals DBQ
1 Attribution minimal approach to POV citing authors of documents by name or position should be consistent (ie most or all attributed) shows that you understand the document has a particular expression rather then a statement of fact
-examples bull John Taylor an English writer said bull A Dominican monk in Florence described
2 Authorial point of view shows that you are aware that gender occupation class religion etc may have influenced the particular view
-example bull Baltasar Rusow as a Lutheran pastor was naturally upset by the celebration
of a Saints Day since Lutherans dont venerate saints
POV continued
3 Reliability and accuracy of sources critically examine source for its accuracy (ie would the author be in a position to provide an accurate statement etc) can also evaluate type of source for its reliability
-examples bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably accurate
because as an outside observer he is more objective bull R Lasselss report of the Carnival celebrations in Italy is probably inaccurate
because as an observer he wold not fully understand local customs
4 Tone or intent of the author looking at the particular text of the document for such elements as satire irony to identify the authors intent
-example bull Brueghel painted The Battle between Carnival and Lent to warn the people
that their love of celebrating was overwhelming their religious observance of Lent
5 Grouping of documents by author shows that the group by nature will express similar views
-exarnple -government officials clergy writers

Question 1
Score Commentary
8 Thesis based on documents and question but rather rudimentary Good discussion of POV on several documents but often misses the opportunity for others (eg Doc 4) Analysis of documents is often simplistic some documents are discussed in a generalized way rather than analyzed specifically Some awareness of change over time
6 Workmanlike thesis statement Focuses essay on question of independence and classifies Davis as pro-independence which is not in the document but can be extrapolated Grouping of documents is somewhat awkward Misreading of Doc 4 Uncritical acceptance ofpro-Greek viewpoint Consistent attribution and some POV in evaluation of bias of Doc 3
