Slavery DBQ and Essay

DBQ means Document Based Question.  In the “Slavery DBQ” series, the students are given multiple primary and secondary sources in texts, pictures, videos, and maps to answer this one question, “What did the enslaved person experience?”  It is through these observations and reflections that the students can empathize with the enslaved and learn through their oral histories. Afterwards, the students write an informative essay in which they are taught how to cite evidence to back up their answer to the DBQ question. 

There are 7 slides with 4 sources on each slide each focusing on a different aspect of slavery.  

It is intended that after you teach a Peardeck lesson from the “Slavery in the 13 Colonies” series, that you assign the corresponding “Slavery DBQ.”  This way the students have the background knowledge learned from your lesson, to complete the assignment independently or in pairs.
