Document-Based Assessment for Global History

Albert Eisenstein said, "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler. " This is a case in point. The pictures, graphics, and text are too simple to extract much meaning from them, making the student's task harder than necessary by requiring conjecture from the student. Far better would be to simply offer the student fuller passages and a context for the pictures.

I use many of these for my 9th/10th grade regular level World History classes. Not every lesson is stellar but it's a nice starting point or review for what we've already discussed.

This type of lesson book is hard to find and worth the cost even if you find just a few of these enclosed DBQs useful and appropriate for your classes. Written mainly for kids with above-average skills. The companion U.S History DBQ version for 11th graders is also very good.

This is a must-buy for teachers to explore primary source documents. I used this for every unit and the students learned to dive in to DBQs as well as write essays using them. I believe they will be very prepared for the final after having studied these documents all semester.

I feel that this is a great buy for my Accelerated 7th grade Social Studies class. There are many document based essays that meet my Social Studies and Language Arts content standards in Ohio. I am very excited to have this material to truly challenge my students.

Not upset w purchase. Just not as good as Am Hist book i bought.

Great book! I recommend it to history teachers that are trying to bring sources into the classroom.Worth the money.

Not really geared toward an honors or AP level, and I would have liked to have had more DBQs in the ancient and classical eras.
