Overview
Educators are increasingly recognizing the value of actively engaging students in the role of historian. Document-based questions (DBQ's) are a regular part of Advanced Placement coursework and provide students with the opportunity to evaluate the diverse perspectives of primary sources. In this lesson, DBQ's serve to motivate and challenge students as they gain important background knowledge about historic anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. The lesson is part of an advanced funding project undertaken by the author for the Museum Teacher Fellowship Program.
