DBQ Online

Overview

Overview

DBQ Online is the digital delivery platform for The DBQ Project’s inquiry-based social-studies curriculum. Students analyze sequenced documents, discuss competing evidence, organize claims, and write supported arguments while teachers use scaffolds and rubrics. Annotations, source selections, and drafts show how an argument develops. Teachers connect those artifacts with rubric feedback and course expectations when reviewing the student’s use of evidence.

Features

Features

Audience and instructional role

Grades / learners:

upper-elementary through high-school students learning history and civics through evidence

Primary users:

social-studies teachers, students, literacy staff, and curriculum leaders

Learning focus:

primary-source analysis, historical reasoning, argument writing, and document-based questions — the digital delivery platform for The DBQ Project’s inquiry-based social-studies curriculum

How it supports learning

  • Students analyze sequenced documents, discuss competing evidence, organize claims, and write supported arguments while teachers use scaffolds and rubrics.
  • Teachers should connect use to explicit learning goals and inspect student work rather than rely on completion or engagement alone.

Implementation and instructional decisions

  • Confirm which Mini-Q, DBQ, civics, or history programs and grade bands are licensed; platform access is only one part of the instructional model.
  • Districts should confirm accessibility, language support, student-data practices, assignment workflow, reporting, and the continuing role of teacher judgment.

Quick Start Guide

Quick Start Guide
The DBQ Project was founded in 2000 to support teachers and students in learning to read smart, think straight, and write more clearly. As teachers, we believe all students can develop high-level critical thinking skills if they have consistent instruction and a chance to practice. We also believe that when we provide teachers with materials that blend educational best practices  and content-specific questions, we promote and support transformational change in our schools.

DBQ Online takes The DBQ Project to a whole new level. Teachers and students have the tools to read and annotate documents, take notes, organize or “bucket” evidence, and write papers in our online environment. That’s just the beginning.
