Articulate a defensible claim about the past in the form of a clear and compelling thesis that evaluates the relative importance of multiple factors and recognizes disparate, diverse, orcontradictory evidence or perspectives.2. Develop and support a historical argument, including in a written essay, through a close analysis of relevant and diverse historical evidence, framing the argument and evidence around theapplication of a specific historical thinking skill (e.g., comparison, causation, patterns of continuity and change over time, or periodization).3. Evaluate evidence to explain its relevance to a claim or thesis, providing clear and consistent links between the evidence and the argument.4. Relate diverse historical evidence in a cohesive way to illustrate contradiction, corroboration, qualification, and other types of historical relationships in developing an argument.ANALYZE EVIDENCE 1. Explain the relevance of the author’s point of view, author’s purpose, audience, format or medium, and/or historical context as well as the interaction among these features, to demonstrateunderstanding of the significance of a primary source.2. Evaluate the usefulness, reliability, and/ or limitations of a primary source in answering particular historical questions.INTERPRET DOCUMENTS 1.Analyze a historian’s argument, explain how the argument has been supported through the analysis of relevant historical evidence, and evaluate the argument’s effectiveness.2.Analyze diverse historical interpretations.From the Revised DBQ Rubric for Document Analysis:1 Point: At least 6 documents used effectively to support the stated thesis or relevant argument.[Offers plausible analysis in support of stated thesis or relevant argument for all or all but one document.]1 Point: At least 4 documents analyzed effectively (author’s point of view, purpose, audience, or historical context).[Includes extended HIPP analysis (not found in source) for at least 4 documents.]From the Revised Period 7 Content OutlineKey Concept 7.1: Growth expanded opportunity, while economic instability led to new efforts to reform U.S. society and its economic system.I. C. Episodes of credit and market instability in the early 20th century, in particular the Great Depression, led to calls for a stronger financial regulatory system.III. During the 1930s, policymakers responded to the mass unemployment and social upheavals of the Great Depression by transforming the U.S. into a limited welfare state,redefining the goals and ideas of modern American liberalism.A) Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal attempted to end the Great Depression by using government power to provide relief to the poor, stimulate recovery, and reform theAmerican economy.B) Radical, union, and populist movements pushed Roosevelt toward more extensive efforts to change the American economic system, while conservatives in Congress andthe Supreme Court sought to limit the New Deal’s scope.C) Although the New Deal did not end the Depression, it left a legacy of reforms and regulatory agencies and fostered a long-term political realignment in which many ethnicgroups, African Americans, and working- class communities identified with the Democratic Party.Key Concept 7.3: Participation in a series of global conflicts propelled the United States into a position of international power while renewing domestic debates over the nation’sproper role in the world.A) The mass mobilization of American society helped end the Great Depression, and the country’s strong industrial base played a pivotal role in winning the war byequipping and provisioning allies and millions of U.S. troops.Historical Analysis Activity written by Rebecca Richardson, Allen High Schoolusing the Revised College Board APUSH Framework, released exam, and writing strategies adapted from John P.

You need HIPP for at least 4 and analysis to defend thesis for at least 6!DOCUMENT 2Source: Meridel Lesueur, New Masses, January 1932.It's one of the great mysteries of the city where women go when they are out of work and hungry.There are not many women in the bread line. There are no flop houses for women as there are formen, where a bed can be had for a quarter or less. You don't see women lying on the floor of themission in the free flops.

Nearly every public statement from Washington is against stimulation of businesswhich would in the end create employment. Everyone is sympathetic to the cause of creating more jobs andbetter wages for labor; but, a program continually promoting labor troubles, higher wages, shorter hours, andless profits for business, would seem to me to be leading us fast to a condition where the Government mustmore and more expand it's relief activities, and will lead in the end to disaster to all classes.Historical Context, Intended Audience, Author’s Purpose, or Author’s Point of View:How this document supports or contradicts your thesis:How this document supports or contradicts your thesis:What other document(s) corroborates or contradicts this analysis?What other document(s) corroborates or contradicts this analysis?Historical Analysis Activities Developed by Rebecca Richardson, Allen High Schoolusing the Revised College Board APUSH Framework, the released exam, writing strategies and reformatted prompts compiled and adapted from John P.
