This Document Based Question (DBQ) was created for 6th Grade World History. It could also be used in 9th grade Global Studies. The topic is Egypt: The Gift of the Nile. It follows the format of the New York State social studies testing requirements for writing DBQ's and answering CRQ's. The DBQ contains 12 total pages including seven documents with constructed response questions followed by an essay question using the documents. The constructed response questions give plenty of space for the students to write instead of the tiny lines that you sometimes find on worksheets. Part One has a total possible 25 points and a scoring rubric is included for the essay (1-5).

I originally took the time to create all these DBQ's for a graduate class project. I knew they would be useful since I couldn't find anything for sixth grade ancient history DBQ's at that time. It took a lot of time to create them and I don't know if I would have done it had it not been for a graduate class. They have been well worth the time and I have given them to many colleagues. I hope you find them useful as well! The preview offering is a sample from the Egypt DBQ that will give you an idea of the format.
Note: I protected my word documents instead of converting them to PDF's which are also not able to be edited. I am choosing to protect my originals according to the advice of many. However, if a buyer chooses to edit them, they can always use the old-fashioned means as if these were DBQ's from a booklet purchased in a store.

You can buy all SIX Ancient History DBQ's in a separate listing for $12.00.
