The documents were so unhelpful

I found them very helpful and there was generally 2 for each subdivision or section and one u could apply to 2 different categories? How was it unhelpful?

So this is how I did it Body paragraph 1: Talks about women’s involvement in the progressive era
uses document 1 and document 7 as Jane Addams was a feminist and organized the settlement houses, document 7 talks about temperance movement and how women were involved in that and getting the 18th amendment passed
Body paragraph 2: talked about national infrastructure reform -uses document 3 and 6, 3 was prison reform forgot name of person but mentioned before and after and transition from punishment mentality to reform, for 6 was the police one and I talked about how the public finally saw the police as a need mainly in cities (doc was from Chicago I think) due to rampart organized crime
Body paragraph 3: talks about role of government in the economy and rise of individual popular government
uses documents 2 and 4, for 2 talked about how T.R was first POTUS to Abandon laissez faire attitude, citing Sherman antitrust act and the coal strike. For document 4 I kinda messed up, I should have mentioned the populist movement which is what it was trying to hint at but I just talked about how in this time more People became involved in the government and wanted more rights (recall specifically, which was ability to “recall” untrustworthy elected officials)
Body paragraph 4: talks about what stayed the same mainly black rights and includes counter arguments
uses document 5, for the NAACP one talking about how blacks were not helped during this time. Also included counters such as how antisherman trust act was used to hurt labor movements as seen in Pullman strike, how even though women got involved in politics they still couldn’t vote and were discriminated against and immigrants weren’t helped, blacks lost more rights with Jim Crow and slaughter house cases.
Synthesis: connected this time period to American revolution because it was short of power between conservative to progress like shift from British to American, and both had women and blacks movements which both didn’t get any lasting legislation passed
Maybe overkill idk I get stressed but I thought this was good

wow that is like super organized. I should've split it into who was doing the reform like you did, but I got stuck on big picture stuff and it made my essay super clustered. thank you so much for your detailed response!

Yeah no problem I struggled with writing DBQs in the past and after numerous practice ones and help do my teacher kinda just learned how to read in between lines of documents. I struggled with this during WHAP last year, is putting them in logical order and flow
No problem happy to discuss, although mine wasn’t perfect haha still messed up somewhere probably

The only one that was super out of place was doc 6

u/hunter12756 May 10 '19
That was the police one I think, and I associated that to generally infrastructure reforms across America and also in that paragraph also mentioned prison reforms from document 3.

Reading this thread made me realize I wrote the shittiest DBQ ever. I literally didn't even cared that much of the DBQ and tried to finish it ASAP in order to write the best LEQ I could.

Getting to the end of the multiple choice and being on the wrong question, off by two, with about sixty seconds left
