The Primary Source Document (DBQ) Analysis Wheel graphic organizer can be used with any primary source document at any level of complexity. Using the graphic organizer, students will develop the ability to analyze primary source documents through examination of the author, place and time of its creation, intended audience, reason for its creation, main idea, and significance. Furthermore, students will practice citing evidence from the text of primary source documents to support analysis and consider how understanding individual elements of a primary source document expands a reader’s comprehension of text.
