This is a screen cast of how to create a prewriting web for a Document Based Question (DBQ). DBQ is a commonly used tool throughout advanced history and social studies classes. Consiquently being able to accurately explain your use of pre-writing while creating an accurate web that will lead to a well organized paper is important. This screencast shows both how to come up with an original thesis as well as how to organize the information while incorporating the documents into the argument. I hope that the students find the screencast useful both from a layout perspective but it also gives the students a chance to while their creating the web, explain vocally why they are linking certain information in certain ways. This recording capability will then allow them to revisit the screencast and be able to better articulate in their paper the logic of their thinking. I am looking forward to introducing this into the classroom.
