DBQ Outlines and Practice

Towards the end of the year, it's hard to find the time to assign and score DBQ essays. As part of my class review, I will pass out previous exam DBQs and give students 15 minutes per DBQ prompt to complete this DBQ outline handout as practice. This could also be a fun partner activity where students work together to complete the outlines.
