DBQ Activity: We will work through our first DBQ together as a class. This activity will be your first DBQ grade and is a great opportunity to learn the format and get a good grade in the process. I will grade this paper with the same rigor that an AP Reader will grade your DBQ, but notice on the Grading Rubric that it will be very difficult to fail this first assignment. Do NOT waste this opportunity to post a good grade; this type of opportunity does not come around often.

DBQ: Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by people of English origin, by 1700 the region had evolved into two distinct societies. Why did this difference in development? See Grading Rubric
