is a little confusing or unclear, you can twist it ● Cite and analyze the first 3-4 documents, this gets evidence and analysis points very easily and is time efficient Do not quote, do as follows: "Document #, Author writes to intended audience during historical situation (if applicable) to purpose. This supports thesis, because reason" Go for outside evidence at the end of either body paragraphs, whatever is easier ● ● Transition using "it's also important to note.....*. This does not satisfy complexity, you can't double-dip on points You divide your documents into your 2 reasons or points ● Make sure you use all 7 documents, that if way you mess up one of them, you still get the second evidence and analysis points ● → Next should be your complexity paragraph if time allows Step one: Restate thesis. Start every paragraph with your thesis. Your third body should be complexity, this is a sure-fire way to get the point ● Go after the LENSES: Last is conclusion O Economic: Taxes, economic structure, etc. O Political: Territory, war, taxes, government structure, etc. Social: Religion, social status of minorities, etc. How this applies or affects beyond the prompt O Complexity needs to be a minimum of 5 sentences here O You guessed it! Restate thesis If you've already done pre-context and a complexity paragraph then you're done ● You can also do post-context here This is good in case you don't think either your pre-context or complexity is strong enough do have a • If you pre-and-post context (and well) then that can get you both context and complexity, but that depends on whether lenient reader or not you LEQ: → Go for as many points as possible as soon as possible → Thesis paragraph is the same as in DBQ Pre-context does not count as complexity → Body paragraphs are as follows: Restate thesis (beat your thesis into the readers' brain) You actually only need 4-6 pieces of SFI for an LEQ, here's two ways you can do it.... ● ● Thesis sentence. Piece of SFI (can be somewhat general). This supports thesis, because elaboration. Another piece of SFI. This supports thesis, because elaboration. Second body paragraph for second reason/point. Rinse and repeat. O Requires 4 pieces of SFI Thesis sentence. Piece of SFI. Another piece of SFI. Third piece of SFI. These reasons support thesis, because elaboration.

O Requires 6 pieces of SFI → Complexity is the same as DBQ → Conclusion is the same as DBQ General: → You are given 100 minutes for DBQ and LEQ Do DBQ first since you need to think less and it's more automatic LEQ is quick if you use the formula given here Use large-scale events for context (Crusades, World Wars, Cold War, Revolutions, etc.) Sample Deconstructed LEQ: ➤ Prompt: To what extent did advances in science and technology affect society since the 20th century? > Thesis: The extent to which advances in science and technology affected society was significant, because advances in medicine improved quality of life and advances in military arsenal redefined how wars were fought. > Pre-Context: To contextualize, in the late 15th century, the Mongol empire and their conquest led to the spread of the black death. The plague killed roughly 40-60% of the European population and an unknown number in Asia. This plague then led to greater expression in art and literature that then kickstarted the beginning of the Renaissance. The black death also called for an end to Feudalism in Europe. > Body Paragraph 1: The extent to which advances in science and technology affected society was significant, because advances in medicine improved quality of life. A treatment for HIV puts the virus into dormancy to stop it from progressing into AIDs and makes it untransferable. The eradication of polio increased the overall population. Treatments for the flu allow for people to recover much faster and not fear the disease. These reasons support that advances in medicine improved quality of life, because as a result of advancements of medicine, more people are able to live and thrive properly. > Body Paragraph 2: The extent to which advances in science and technology affected society was significant, because advances in military arsenal redefined how wars were fought. Mustard gas in WWII helped transition into Chemical Warfare. The development and testing of nuclear weapons in the Cold War transitioned into Nuclear War. The burning of oil in the Gulf War transitioned into environmental and depletion of resource warfare. These reasons support that advances in military arsenal redefined how wars were fought, because they all made the wars more dangerous and difficult to fight as the strategies built upon previous ones. > Complexity: The extent to which advances in science and technology affected society was significant, because advances in medicine improved quality of life and advances in military arsenal redefined how wars were fought. Politically, this allowed for allied forces to find and transmit cures to diseases for other countries, such as the USA and Europes shipping cures to Malaria in Africa. Economically, this increases the amount paid in taxes to fund the government for their military and medical research Socially, this allows for people from different backgrounds and minorities to gain medical aid or to fight in a war. This still applies as there are still doctors today that are trying to find a cure for aids and warfare researchers and engineers developing new technology for war. Advances in medical technology help keep people alive and improve quality of life while advances in military technology make killing people more efficient. Sample Deconstructed DBQ Body Paragraph: ➤ This will include thesis, 3 documents, and outside evidence ➤ Prompt Compare and contrast the attitudes of Christianity and Islam toward merchants and trade from the religions' origins until about 1500. ➤ Overall thesis: Christianity and Islam attitudes from their origins towards merchants and trade until about 1500 were similar in their approval of fair trade, but differed in whether they were inclined to support them. > Body paragraph. Christianity and Islam were different in their attitudes towards merchants and trade in regards to their inclinations to limit or support them respectively. (Document 5) Ibu Khaldun writes to fellow Islamic scholars to define and explain commerce and increasing capital. This supports that Islam was in favor of trade, because they defined the parameters to properly pursue and enhance trade. (Document 7) Ankara writes to Islamic court officials to illuminate the importance of the tradition that is trade. This further supports that Islam had a positive attitude towards trade, because they viewed it as a tradition. (Document 1) The Christian Bible writes to its followers to advise them from accumulating wealth and trade for they will be prohibited from entering heaven if having done so. This supports that Christianity was not in favor of or supporting trade, because the religion overall frowned upon it and forbade it. It's also important to note that the Muslim prophet, Muhammed, which his succession is debated among the sects of Islam, was a merchant. This makes Islam as an overall religion inclined to encourage trade and highly respect merchants.
