Primary Resources Project DBQ  
 * Document Based Questioning Lesson **

One of the original assignments in this course involved creating a lesson around the idea of Document Based Questioning. It is a strategy that allows even the youngest of students to examine primary source material. If you are interested in this idea, feel free to substitute it for your tool exploration this week OR incorporate it as one of your lessons for our final project to be completed week #4 or #5.

Design a simple lesson incorporating both the DBQ and Primary sources appropriate for gifted students. Include objectives. The lesson need not be involved and could use a small number of images and other sources. Create a slide show of the lesson on Soarweb or if you are a novice computer user, you may use PowerPoint. 1) **Make a simple Vuvox/PowerPoint/VoiceThread/Prezi presentation** (5-10 slides). <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">2) **Make a simple track of sources to go with your lesson on Trackstar** (5-10 links) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">3) **Complete extra credit items** (optional) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">4) **Post half page explanation/description/reflection**. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">5) **Post a reply to at least one other person's project**.
