Native Americans DBQ Document-Based Questions
Native AmericansDocument-Based Questions (DBQs) are a great way to expose students to primary sources as well as to make them think about an event in history and respond to it. This unit can be used in a few ways. You can project the full-page images on my board so that we can discuss them, and then the students answer the DBQ in their notebooks. I have also included the DBQs in printable format so that your students can answer on paper and digital Google Forms that you can send electronically.
