DBQ Spotlight
Detroit City Schools
The DBQ Project is being implemented all over the country and DBQ Online takes the process to a whole new level. Teachers and students have the tools to read and annotate documents, take notes, organize or "bucket" evidence, and write papers in our online environment. And that's just the beginning. Take a few minutes to hear what teachers in Detroit, Michigan are saying about using The DBQ Project with their students.
DBQ Project Workshops
Our workshops help provide the sustained support teachers need to help their students be successful. The DBQ Project is committed to helping teachers accelerate their students at a pace everyone can understand. Students need strong reading and communication skills to succeed personally, in school, and at work. 21st-century teachers need information and support to boost critical thinking skills and close racial and socio-economic gaps in student achievement. We have several asynchronous courses that do just that. Click below for more information.
September DBQ/Mini-Q Unit Spotlights
How Do We Remember 9/11?
On September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked. Terrorists used airplanes as weapons and crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and a field in Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people from 90 different countries lost their lives. This Mini-Q looks at different ways we remember this tragedy by focusing on three particular groups - the victims, the survivors, and the helpers.
How Did the Constitution Guard Against Tyranny?
In the summer of 1787, fifty-five delegates representing twelve of the thirteen states met in Philadelphia to fix the national government. The problem was that the existing government under the Articles of Confederation just wasn’t doing the job. It was too weak. The challenge was to create a strong central government without letting any one person, or group of people, get too much power. This Mini-Q looks at how the founders met that challenge.
