DBQ WRITING TIPS 8-Step Strategy: 1. Read the question three times. Do not move on until you fully understand it. 2. Identify the task by circling the main words. (For example: assess the validity, compare and contrast, evaluate relative importance, analyze the significance, etc.) 3. Ask yourself ?what do I have to prove?? (e.g. Foreign policy is more important than domestic policy). 4. Pay special attention to economic, political, social issues that need to be included. 5. Make a list (outline) of outside information (as if you were writing a standard essay). 6. Examine the documents, underlining any key words or phrases that you may use later in the essay. Reread the question again after reading the first three documents.
