The DBQ Project Method provides a framework of best practices that guides teachers and students to read smart, think straight, and write clearly. The DBQ Project utilizes a 6-Step Method and delivers this methodology in all DBQs and Mini-Qs. Each step builds on students’ curiosity and increases motivation and confidence to answer a compelling, authentic question.
