Extended Writing DBQ Response - The Crusades
I use this extended writing DBQ activity with my 7th graders, during our Middle Ages unit. It is designed to have them practice choosing/analyzing appropriate evidence, more than writing a claim, so I provide the claim for them.

The document that they analyze is an excerpt from a speech delivered by Pope Urban II.
