DBQ Online: The Student Experience

To improve close reading, students and teachers can annotate their pages, using color-coded

• text
• sticky notes
• highlighters
• arrows, squares, circles, etc

Audio read alouds of all text documents and background essays help students

• gain fluency
• improve vocabulary
• better understand the author's tone and tenor

Your Spanish-speaking and dual languag students will greatly benefit from our new Spanish version Mini-Qs. Students can either complete the lesson entirely in Spanish, or they can toggle between Spanish and English versions.

As a guide to the writing process, the Essay Builder prompts students to

• collect and organize evidence
• develop their claims
• outline their argument
• flesh out each paragraph
• revise their essay
