Know the rubric
Quickly tackle the documents to look for categories to form
your thesis
Draft your thesis and note your groups
Draft your topic sentences
Find your evidence (from the documents)
Tackle your documents again for POV (a 3rd time)
Finish your outline, THEN write your essay




You can score 9 points on the
DBQ.
You can score 7 points on the
Core.
In you earn all 7 points on the
core, you might be able to earn
2 bonus points.
If you follow Mr. Geoffrion’s
advice, you won’t even need to
worry about the expanded core
– you will have it.

If you don’t have a
thesis or you have
a really bad one it
could cost you
THREE points.

EVERY DOCUMENT must be mentioned
at least ONE time in your essay.
You cannot “double-dip” for document
points (besides mentioning them). You
must use documents more than once for it
to count more than once.
Understanding means you interpret it
correctly (discuss/analyze it).
You then use the document as evidence.
To get points for grouping, you only need
to put it in a group.
Think: Start with thesis…
1. If it includes dates, they are important – what is
important about the dates?
Should include the dates in the thesis statement.
2. Factors: Hmmm? What about SPRITE or PERSIA –
could these be factors?
SPRITE
S – Social (women, labor,
class structure)
P – Political (or military)
R – Religious
I – Intellectual (ideas,
books, art, culture)
T – Technological
(inventions, new
resources, etc.)
E – Economic
PERSIA
P – Political (or military)
E – Economic
R – Religious
S – Social
I – Intellectual (ideas,
books, art, culture)
A – Around (think
geography)
Author: Who is the author, and how does their
identity affect the meaning document?
Context: When and where did this document come
from? How did events in that time and place
affect the meaning of the document?
Audience: Who was the document made for, and
how does the identity of the audience influence
the meaning of the document?
Purpose: Why was this document made, and does
that influence the meaning of the document
Significance: How can this document be used to
answer the prompt?

Remember the first 10 minutes of Section II (the
essays) is dedicated to prewriting and
document Analysis
You could do ACAPS for each document, but
there is one problem: TIME
ACAPS gave us a good starting point to know
how to get information from a document, now
we should be more focused on what the
prompt is telling us to do
So, when we analyze these documents we should
focus on finding common factors within the
documents that help shape the modern
Olympic Movement.
Factors, factors?
PEACE or
nationalism???
Factors…factors…
Nationalism or the economy!!
Oh, how about I use the same
document in two groups?
Oh… this is also about making money
– economics – 2 documents make a
group.
Think of your thesis in three parts…
1.
Answer the question that is asked in one or two
CONNECTING sentences (this is your
argument).
2.
Indicate the groups (3) that you will use to
address the question. You will have more groups
than just 3 – more later.
3.
Provide a “road map” as to what you will
address in each group (especially if it is a very
broad category).



Dates
Key Words From the Prompt
Your Three Groups

If you are using the SPRITE or PERSIA categories to
come up with groups, follow the broad category
with a more specific “such as” statement:
Ex. “…economic factors, such as…” OR
“…political factors, including…”
In 1892 plans were being made to reestablish the Olympic
Games. The first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896. The
initial goal was to promote world peace, but from 1892 to 2002
many other factors shaped the modern Olympic movement.
These factors included political factors such as demonstrating
the political and military power; intellectual factors, such as
the rise of nationalism; and social factors such as the rise of
feminism. Economics, especially for the profit of corporations,
also was a factor in later years.
This isn’t great, but it will get
the points every time!!!!!!

These are historical INFORMATIVE
essays and the only thing that matters is
if you use evidence to support your
argument.

POINT OF VIEW – 3 Ws
WHO says it…
WHAT does he/she say (this
could be used as evidence to
support your thesis)
WHY does he/she say it (this
is the POV and this is where
you get POV points.


Attempt to do POVs for EVERY
document…Yes, every document.
Do enough correctly and you get
into the expanded core!!!!
Willy Brandt, Chancellor of West Germany expressed
great support for the ECC. Brandt stressed the importance
of the ECC and how it might lead to lasting peace in
Europe. According to Brandt, the ECC would be as
significant to Europe as the Marshall Plan was; however,
since Brandt made these comments at Harvard University,
he might have chosen the American Marshall Plan to
highlight so that he could better connect with the
American audience (doc. 9).

Consider the following about each person
Title, position, or job (economic motives, political motives,
etc.)
 Male/female
 Country or religion of the person (in favor of country or
historically doesn’t like people from a different country;
supports or dislikes a religious group)
 Date the statement was made (around a war)


Consider the type of document and why it was
created…
Political speech, diary entry, newspaper article )what type of
paper)
 Maps, graphs, charts – who created it and why???
 Pictures, paintings – who paid for it?



The additional document…
This is simple, if you do it right…you are really
saying whose voice is NOT heard and what their
voice would add to the discussion.



Women
Poor
Those who “lost”
Workers
Ethnic Groups
Look for obvious omissions

Officially, anywhere, but just like POV,
about ½ of the “additional documents” are
wrong, so I say include one per group –
REMEMBER TO SAY WHY – ANALYSIS
Do any of these relate to
FACTORS that shaped the
Olympics?
So any additional document
would have to apply to attitudes
toward technology…


As you use evidence from the
documents, cite the source
 Ex. “…blah blah blah (Doc 4).”
HEY, What about the expanded
core?


Forget about it…
You are going to provide POV for each
document and at least 3 additional
documents (one per group) – your
Expanded Core is met!!!
