The Early Republic DBQ

Students will analyze 16 documents (6 are images), answer 16 historical context questions, complete a sorting chart, and write a DBQ essay to review the presidencies of Washington and Adams. There are 11 essay prompts for students to choose from (one allows for the class or teacher to make one of their own). The answers are included where appropriate and the initial analysis part would be great for a sub!  ***Some of the sourcing is generalized so that students have to place it in the historical context/event themselves.***

 Sample questions include:
--Which piece of legislation is most connected to document 1 and do you think Callender supported or opposed Adams and why? 
--Rewrite document 4 in your own words to demonstrate understanding.
--Summarize how document 6 divided Americans.
--In what way(s) did document 11 benefit, or strengthen, the United States?
--Explain the purpose of document 13 and whether or not it followed the example Washington tried to set. 
--What is being advocated in document 16 and why?
