What Is A DBQ Essay? Tips + Examples
By Eric Eng
So, you’re staring at an essay prompt asking for a DBQ essay , and you’re wondering, “ What is a DBQ essay? ” You’re not alone! A DBQ, or Document-Based Question essay, is a type of writing you’ll commonly come across in history classes, especially AP courses. The good news? It’s not as scary as it sounds once you get the hang of it. The key to mastering a DBQ is all about analyzing provided documents and using them to craft a strong, evidence-based argument.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about a DBQ. We’ll cover how to write one, what a DBQ example looks like, how long it should be, and more.
What Does DBQ Stand For?
How to write a dbq essay, example dbq essay and analysis, frequently asked questions.
DBQ stands for Document-Based Question. This type of essay is designed to test your ability to analyze historical documents and use them to form an argument.
You’ll most often encounter DBQs in Advanced Placement (AP) history courses, like AP World History, AP U.S. History, or AP European History . They help test your knowledge of historical content and your skills in critical thinking and writing.
Writing a DBQ essay might feel overwhelming at first, but once you have a clear strategy, it’s pretty manageable. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown to help you out:
1. Understand the prompt.
First things first, read the prompt carefully. You need to know what you’re being asked before you dive into the documents. The prompt will often ask you to take a position or explain a historical issue using the documents provided.
2. Analyze the documents.
Next, spend some time analyzing the documents given to you. These could be anything from primary sources like letters, speeches, or photos to secondary sources like scholarly articles. Take notes on what each document says and how it connects to the essay prompt.
3. Write a strong thesis statement.
Your thesis is the core of your DBQ essay . After analyzing the documents, decide on the main argument you’re going to make. A strong thesis directly answers the question in the prompt and gives a roadmap for the rest of your essay.
Here’s an example of a weak thesis statement : “The American Revolution happened for many reasons.”
This thesis is vague and doesn’t provide any clear direction for the essay. It fails to identify specific causes or how those causes will be addressed.
Now, look at a strong thesis statement : “The American Revolution was sparked by the colonists’ growing resentment of British policies, specifically due to unfair taxation, trade restrictions, and a lack of political representation.”
This thesis directly answers the prompt, identifies three specific causes, and gives the reader a clear understanding of what the essay will cover. It provides an outline for the argument, making the essay much more focused and organized.
4. Organize your essay.
Plan your essay by organizing the documents into categories that support your thesis. Each body paragraph should focus on one key point and use the documents as evidence to back it up. You can also bring in your knowledge of the historical period to add more context to your argument.
5. Write your DBQ.
Now that you’ve got your plan, it’s time to start writing. In your introduction, introduce the topic, state your thesis, and give a brief preview of the points you’ll be making. Each body paragraph should include topic sentences, evidence from the documents, and analysis of how the evidence supports your thesis. Finally, wrap it all up with a conclusion (yes, you need a conclusion in your DBQ essay).
6. Proofread and revise.
Before turning in your DBQ, take a few minutes to reread your essay and check for any spelling or grammatical errors. Make sure your argument flows smoothly and that you’ve clearly supported your thesis with the documents.
How long should a DBQ essay be?
Good question! While there’s no hard-and-fast rule, most DBQ essays are typically around 500-700 words long, depending on the complexity of the prompt and the number of documents provided. In general, aim for about five paragraphs: an introduction, three body paragraphs (or more if needed), and a conclusion.
It’s important to stay concise while making sure you fully explain your points and back them up with evidence. Don’t feel pressured to write a super long DBQ essay. You should focus on quality over quantity. As long as you are able to answer the prompt, use the documents effectively, and build a strong argument, you’re golden.
Do you need a conclusion in a DBQ essay?
Yes, you absolutely need a conclusion in a DBQ! The conclusion is your chance to wrap up your argument and leave a lasting impression on your reader (or your grader). In your conclusion, restate your thesis in a new way and briefly summarize the key points you made in your essay.
But don’t just repeat everything word-for-word. Instead, tie everything together by showing how the documents you analyzed and the arguments you made paint a clear picture of the historical issue you were asked to address. You can also use the conclusion to reflect on the broader significance of the topic or its implications for the future.
Let’s look at a quick DBQ example to bring everything into perspective. Suppose you’re given the prompt: “ Analyze the causes of the American Revolution. ” You would be given several documents, like excerpts from colonial leaders, British officials, or other relevant texts. Here’s a basic outline of what an example DBQ essay on this topic might look like:
Let’s break down why each part of this DBQ example works well for the prompt: “Analyze the causes of the American Revolution.”
Thesis statement
The American Revolution was caused by growing tensions between Britain and the American colonies, fueled by unfair taxation, restrictions on colonial trade, and a lack of representation in British Parliament.
Why it’s good:
Provides a clear argument. The thesis directly answers the prompt by identifying the main causes of the American Revolution: taxation, trade restrictions, and lack of representation.
Specific. Rather than vaguely stating “tensions,” the thesis explains exactly what tensions the essay will focus on, making it easier to build an argument in the body paragraphs.
Gives a preview of your structure. It gives a roadmap for the essay, which helps guide the reader. The three causes listed here will likely correspond to the main points in the body paragraphs to create a well-organized essay.
Body paragraph 1
Topic sentence: The imposition of taxes like the Stamp Act and Tea Act ignited colonial anger toward Britain.
Why it’s good:
Directly connects to your thesis statement. The topic sentence ties back to one of the key causes identified in the thesis: unfair taxation.
Gives a specific example. Naming specific acts, like the Stamp Act and Tea Act, makes the argument more concrete and grounded in historical facts, which is essential for a DBQ.
Evidence from document: A letter from a colonial leader complaining about taxation without representation.
Relevant. The evidence is directly related to the topic sentence and demonstrates the colonists’ anger over taxation without representation.
Uses a primary source. Using a letter from a colonial leader shows the perspective of someone directly affected by British policies. This strengthens your argument.
Analysis: This document shows that unfair taxation policies led many colonists to question British authority and demand more autonomy.
Interprets the document. The analysis doesn’t just summarize the document but explains how it supports the argument, linking unfair taxation to a desire for autonomy.
Connects to the prompt. It ties the evidence back to the broader issue of growing tensions, showing how taxation contributed to the Revolutionary cause.
Body paragraph 2
Topic sentence: British trade restrictions and the enforcement of mercantilist policies limited colonial economic freedom.
Addresses another cause. The topic sentence moves the essay forward by tackling the second key cause from the thesis: trade restrictions.
Gives an economic focus. By focusing on trade and economics, it expands the scope of the essay and provides a different angle than taxation, making the argument more well-rounded.
Evidence from document: A colonial newspaper article criticizing the Navigation Acts.
Supports the topic sentence. The newspaper article directly addresses trade restrictions and proves that this was a significant issue for the colonies.
Provides a broader perspective. A newspaper represents public opinion at the time, showing that dissatisfaction wasn’t limited to political leaders but was also widespread among colonists.
Analysis: This source highlights how economic policies imposed by Britain were seen as a threat to the prosperity and independence of the colonies.
Connects economic issues to rebellion. The analysis clearly explains how the economic frustrations fueled a desire for independence. This aligns with the overall argument of growing colonial dissatisfaction.
Provides insight. It moves beyond just stating that trade restrictions were unpopular, adding depth by discussing the threat to colonial prosperity and independence.
Body paragraph 3
Topic sentence: The lack of colonial representation in British Parliament increased political tensions.
Addresses the final cause. The third key cause of the thesis, political representation, is introduced here. This makes sure all points of your thesis are covered.
Broadens your argument. Shifting the focus to political issues adds variety to the essay and widens the argument beyond just economic concerns.
Evidence from document: A petition from the Continental Congress requesting greater representation.
Solid evidence. The Continental Congress was a key player in the Revolution. This document provides strong, relevant evidence to support the argument about lack of representation.
Historical significance. The petition is an official, important document. This shows the seriousness of the colonial demands and adds weight to the argument.
Analysis: The frustration over not having a voice in British decision-making drove many colonists to consider rebellion as their only option.
Explains the consequences. The analysis doesn’t just restate the evidence but explains how the lack of representation pushed colonists toward rebellion. This ties directly back to your thesis.
Focuses on the prompt. It keeps the focus on “growing tensions,” which directly answers the question and makes sure that your essay stays on track.
The American Revolution was not an overnight event but the result of a series of escalating tensions between Britain and its American colonies. From unfair taxation to restrictive trade policies and the colonists’ growing frustration with their lack of representation in Parliament, each issue chipped away at the loyalty once felt toward the Crown. The documents illustrate how these grievances led colonists to question British authority, ultimately pushing them toward the pursuit of independence. By examining these documents, it’s clear that the revolution was born from a desire for autonomy—both politically and economically—that could no longer be ignored. The American Revolution was as much a response to systemic oppression as it was a fight for a new identity, one built on the principles of freedom and self-governance.
Reinforces the argument. The conclusion ties everything together and reminds the reader that the documents are meant to support the broader argument about the causes of the Revolution.
Encourages deeper thinking. It emphasizes the importance of analyzing the documents, not just summarizing them. This is a crucial skill for DBQ essays .
Broadens the perspective . It ties the American Revolution to broader themes of freedom and self-governance. This gives the essay a sense of closure and elevates the significance of the analysis.
Strong final sentence : The last sentence leaves a lasting impression, connecting the causes of the Revolution to larger ideals. This resonates well with your readers and makes the argument feel more complete.
1. How do I write a thesis for a DBQ essay?
Your thesis should directly answer the prompt by clearly stating your argument or the main point of your essay. It should be specific and outline the key reasons or factors that you’ll explore in your body paragraphs. Make sure your thesis addresses all parts of the prompt and hints at the structure of your essay.
2. How many documents should I use in my DBQ essay?
Generally, you should aim to use most, if not all, of the provided documents to support your argument. However, it’s essential to go beyond simply quoting or summarizing the document. You should analyze them and explain how they connect to your thesis. Depending on the exam or assignment, you may need to use a minimum number of documents, so make sure to always check the guidelines provided by your professor.
3. Do I need to include outside knowledge in a DBQ essay?
Yes, in addition to the documents, you should incorporate your own knowledge of the historical context. Outside knowledge helps strengthen your argument by showing you understand the broader events, causes, or effects related to the prompt. It’s important to blend your analysis of the documents with historical facts you already know.
4. Do I need a conclusion in a DBQ essay?
Absolutely! A conclusion is essential to wrap up your essay and restate your argument. In your conclusion, summarize the main points you’ve made, and show how the documents and your analysis answer the prompt. A strong conclusion reinforces your thesis and provides closure for your reader.
The DBQ essay is built around analyzing historical documents to answer a specific prompt. You must use these documents as evidence to support your thesis while also incorporating your own knowledge of the topic.
Having a strong thesis is essential. Your thesis should directly address the prompt and provide a clear, specific argument. It should outline the main points of your essay, guiding your analysis in the body paragraphs.
You should be able to balance document evidence with outside knowledge. While the documents are important, you should also use outside historical knowledge to strengthen your argument, adding depth and context to the analysis.
A well-written conclusion restates your thesis, summarizes your key points, and shows how your analysis of the documents fully addresses the essay prompt.
Should you need help in writing a DBQ essay for one of your subjects, you might want to consider talking to a private consultant for guidance.

How to Write a DBQ (Ultimate Guide, Examples, Templates)
Writing a Document-Based Question (DBQ) can feel like solving a mystery.
You’ve got clues (documents), a mystery to solve (the question), and your wits to put it all together.
Here is a quick summary of how to write a DBQ:
Write a DBQ by analyzing the prompt, examining and grouping documents by themes, crafting a clear thesis, outlining your essay, writing with evidence from the documents, and proofreading for clarity and coherence. Organize your argument logically and support it with historical evidence.
In this guide, you’ll learn everything you need to know about how to write DBQs, plus plenty of examples and full templates.
What Is a DBQ?
Table of Contents
A Document-Based Question (DBQ) is an essay prompt used in exams like AP History. It requires you to analyze and synthesize historical documents to create a coherent argument. Think of it as being a historian, piecing together evidence to support a thesis.
Types of DBQs
Historical DBQs : Focus on specific historical periods or events, such as the American Revolution or World War II.
Thematic DBQs : Explore broader themes like political movements, social changes, or economic trends.
Comparative DBQs : Compare different periods, regions, or themes to draw broader conclusions about historical processes.
Step-by-Step Guide to DBQ Bliss
I’ve done my best to outline each step with examples of specific “how-to” tips.
Follow this guide to learn how to write a DBQ you and your teacher will love.
1. Read the Prompt
Understand what the question is asking. Look for key terms, time periods, and specific directives. Knowing exactly what is required will help you focus your analysis and writing.
Example : “Analyze the causes of the American Revolution.”
Here is how to do it:
Identify the time frame: Late 18th century.
Recognize key terms: “Analyze” (break down into components) and “causes” (reasons or factors).
Note any specific instructions: Are you asked to consider political, economic, or social causes?
2. Analyze the Documents
Examine each document carefully.
Identify the author’s perspective, the context, and how it relates to the prompt. Take notes on key points and underline or highlight important information.
Example : A letter from a colonial leader expressing frustration with British taxes.
Determine the author’s background: Is the author a colonial leader, British official, or ordinary citizen?
Contextualize the document: When was it written? What events were happening at that time?
Analyze the content: What is the main message or argument? How does it relate to the prompt?
Identify bias or perspective: Is the author supporting or opposing the British policies?
3. Group the Documents
Group documents that share similar viewpoints or themes. This helps in organizing your essay and ensures that your argument is coherent and well-structured.
Example : Group documents showing economic grievances, political dissatisfaction, and social unrest.
Identify common themes: Are there multiple documents discussing taxes, political representation, or social issues?
Create categories: Economic grievances, political dissatisfaction, social unrest.
Note connections: How do these themes interrelate? Can one category lead to another?
4. Develop a Thesis Statement
Craft a clear, concise thesis that answers the prompt and reflects the grouped documents. Your thesis should serve as the backbone of your essay, guiding your arguments and analysis.
Example : “The American Revolution was driven by economic, political, and social factors.”
Address all parts of the prompt: Ensure your thesis covers the main aspects asked by the question.
Be specific: Instead of saying “various factors,” specify “economic, political, and social factors.”
Be concise: Your thesis should be one or two sentences long.
5. Outline Your Essay
Create a detailed outline. Each paragraph should focus on a specific group of documents and support your thesis. This ensures that your essay is logically organized and easy to follow.
Introduction : Thesis statement
Body Paragraph 1 : Economic grievances
Body Paragraph 2 : Political dissatisfaction
Body Paragraph 3 : Social unrest
Conclusion : Restate thesis and summarize main points
Introduction: Start with a hook to grab attention, provide background information, and present your thesis.

Where did you store that file, attachments uploading papers and projects.
If there’s a secret to using this feature, it’s knowing how to upload and hitting the Submit button until you receive confirmation. In most systems, you look for a button labeled Add a File or Upload. This prompts you to browse your computer to find the file. (See why knowing where you stored it is important?) Usually, you click Open after you identify the file you want and then click Submit. The next screen you see should be a confirmation that the file has been uploaded. This figure shows what this looks like from the Student view in Canvas.
If your instructor doesn’t have this tool available, they may ask you to attach your work to an email. This process works the same as attaching photos to send to your dear cousin Ted. You find the Attachment icon (usually a paper clip), browse for the file, and upload. The uploading skill seems to be universal, whether you’re attaching a document to an email or a discussion board posting.
Some learning management systems connect to your Microsoft 365 or Google file structure, so you may be able to upload files from there.
Post, Emily! Submitting discussion posts
Compose: Look for this button if you need to start a new discussion, one that isn’t attached to anyone else’s idea.
Reply: Use this button when you want to respond to something another person wrote. Here’s a super tip: Copy and paste one or two lines from the original text (delete the rest) so that you can quote the first author and focus your comments.
Post: After you have composed or replied, you must remember to hit Post or Submit. Otherwise, your great ideas don’t appear on the discussion board.
The Submit button on quizzes and tests
Tips for submitting any assignment
Whether you’re working with papers, projects, discussion posts, quizzes, or tests, consider the following general pointers: Submit early, have a backup plan, and keep a copy. Here’s why these are important:
Submit early, when possible, in case of problems: What if you plan to submit your assignment at 11:56 p.m. on the night it’s due by midnight and the whole system crashes or your hard drive freezes? You don’t have a lot of time to remedy that situation. A safer bet is to submit your work during normal working hours, well before you need to. That way, if you encounter a problem, you’re more likely to contact a real-life tech support person who can assist you.
Attach to email when technology fails: Still on the 11:56 p.m. track? When all else fails, send the same assignment as an attachment to an email to your instructor. Include a polite note explaining that the system wasn’t cooperating and that you wanted to be sure to get the assignment turned in, one way or another. This shows good problem-solving skills.
Keep a copy: Always, always keep copies of your work for the term of the course. You never know when you might need them. It’s common for the system to freeze up when you’re trying to submit a great discussion post (always when you’ve written something worthy of a Pulitzer), so if you first compose in a word processor and then copy and paste to the discussion area, you’re safe in knowing that you have the original text. Should there be any question, you can find the file and resubmit it.

I submitted my assignments in April 2024 offline, while my re-registration is for the December session of the 3rd year. I have done all my assignments properly keeping my sessions in mind.
