DBQ or Document Based Question is the hottest trend in Social Studies instruction. In a DBQ lesson, students read and analyze primary source documents, usually guided with questions; organize thoughts with pre-writing activities and usually end with a writing an thesis-based essay. NearPod is an ideal tool for the reading/analyzing and pre-writing parts of the lesson. We have seen a new level of engagement as well as all students participating in higher level thinking when combining teaching strategy and technology tool. Come experience a DBQ with NearPod from the student's perspective. Participants may participate with any mobile device. These activities are appropriate for flipping as well.
