UPDATED WITH THE NEW SEPTEMBER 2023 APUSH DBQ RUBRIC

The College Board has released revised DBQ rubric guidelines for the AP History courses that will take effect immediately for the 2023-2024 academic year. I have revised my rubric to meet the new guidelines and am providing other resources to help teachers implement the new format.

APUSH DBQ RUBRIC

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2023!

I've taken the latest changes to the guidelines released by the College Board for AP history courses and created a user-friendly APUSH DBQ Rubric for teachers to use while assessing their students' DBQs.

Teachers who subscribe to my Eight Month Writing Clinic can share the instructional videos with their students. In this clinic, I will model how to earn every point on the DBQ and LEQ.

Old DBQs Revised for the New Exam

I have revised several old DBQs to conform to the format of the redesigned APUSH exam. These DBQs are available to teachers who join the APUSH Teachers email list. Please use an institutional email to sign up so that we can keep these revised DBQs in the hands of teachers.

APUSH Review Videos

In addition to producing rubrics and other instructional materials for APUSH students and teachers, I also post review lectures on my YouTube channel.  Check out my AP US History Review playlist!

I will e-mail access information for my revised DBQs and other resources to teachers who sign up for the e-mail list with an institutional e-mail address (I am trying to keep these documents in the hands of teachers).
