The instructor was out of the classroom today due to Personal Business.
The students (with the substitute teacher) were given the opportunity to work in their DBQ Project groups in order to create their question for submission on Wednesday (when the instructor returns). The groups should be developing their team members and finishing the creation of their "open-ended" question about their historical period/event of interest. Once the question is finalized, each group should begin thinking about what documents and evidence they will be including to support their creation.

Today, the students were introduced to their final project of the school year...the DBQ Project. In the scope of this project, the AP students are divided up into teams of 3-6 people (their choice) and their job is to develop a Document Based Question and its supporting components for a particular area of interest in United States History. If done to the best of their ability, the resulting creation should resemble a DBQ created by AP College Board (and thus, it could be used in an instructional AP classroom for future students).
