which explains how the thematic essay response will be graded. The maximum possible score is a five; the lowest
possible score is a zero. To earn the maximum score possible, consider the following steps for writing a
thematic essay response:
1. Pre-Writing

DBQ Questions and Essay
To successfully write a DBQ short answer response, one must carefully read or examine the historical
context from Part A, the document, and the question or questions associated with it. The answer to these
questions can often be located directly within the document. Other times, one must refer back to specific
information given in the historical context of the DBQ. It should be noted that the documents upon which
short answer questions are based can be textual (e.g., speech, law, etc.) or visual (e.g., political cartoon, map, etc.).
