Document Based Questions are a great way to figure out what students have learned and to utilize higher order thinking skills. Students have to analyze documents and create a written response to a question while bringing in their prior knowledge. I have posted the DBQs that I use that I have found online. Some are the retired AP DBQs others are from other teachers or textbook companies. I have also found that having a student create their own DBQ is a wonderful learning experience and I was very impressed with the results.
Please feel free to use these in your own lessons.
