Instructional Ideas
- Flip the lesson and have class members do the readings out of class, saving class time to model how to approach a DBQ
Classroom Considerations
- Designed to be use with the Call to Freedom textbook, the lesson is easily adapted to other textbooks
- The DBQ is designed for eighth grade but is appropriate for high schoolers as well
- Beware the typos in Lucretia Mott's and Carrie Chapman Catt's bios
Pros

Cons
- Neither a rubric nor scored sample papers are included in the DBQ packet
