DBQ Practice: African-Americans in WWI

Remember, for homework tonight you need to write an introduction and body paragraph in response to these questions:

Why would African-Americans support the war efforts? How were African-Americans in combat affected by prejudice in American society?

Some specifics:

•Introduction must have context and a thesis that answers BOTH questions (can be more than one sentence). It must be clear what topics you will be addressing in your body paragraphs

•Your first body paragraph should include a topic sentence, analysis of 2 documents, and outside information. Explain how the evidence you are giving helps answer one or both of the questions.

Practice makes perfect, and you've got to learn the rules before you can break them. You can do it!
