Want to really make sure you understand what we are looking for in the DBQ?
Print or open this response to the same Jackson DBQ that you wrote. It is an average response. Try to underline the thesis, and then find examples of synthesis and context. This can all be found in the first paragraph. Then read through the additional paragraphs. Look for examples of documents AND document-specific analysis as well as outside information. You might find it helpful to get a bunch of different highlighters and mark it all up.
Then compare your work to my key. Are you seeing the same things that we are when we grade?
Good luck with it! I hope you find this helpful.
