In a DBQ essay, do you give reference to the documents you used at the end of the paragraph? Or do you reference them at the end of a sentence in the middle of your paragraph?

Thanks!

I have no idea, never having heard of DBQ essays before, but you may find an answer to your question in these search results.

It is easiest to include it in the paragraph. For example: As seen in Document 1...OR As seen in the photograph b of document 3....OR As Stated in document 5....This is a very easy way to reference the document and easy for the teacher to grade the paper since it is clear you know where you obtained the information. GOOD LUCK!

actually if you state the documents out like that, you LOSE points and wont be able to go in the expanded core. just say "so and so stated this" and then in parentheses, say the document number. believe me ive been doing this without knowing, and my ap teacher just told me the other day not to do that. hope it helps.

In a DBQ (Document-Based Question) essay, it is common practice to reference the documents you use within the body of your paragraphs. Rather than waiting until the end of the paragraph, it is best to reference them at the end of the sentence where you have used the specific information from a document.

Whenever you refer to a document, you can include a parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence where the information from that particular document is discussed. The parenthetical citation typically includes the document number or letter, which should be provided in the question prompt or in the header of the document itself. Additionally, you should include the author or source of the document (if provided), and it is also helpful to include the year or time period in which the document was created.

Here is an example of how you can reference a document within a DBQ essay:

"In Document 2, a letter written by John Adams in 1776, he expresses his support for independence, stating that 'it is the will of Heaven that the two countries should be sundered forever' (Adams, Document 2)."

Including the parenthetical citation immediately after the sentence helps to establish a clear connection between the information you present and the specific document you are referencing. Remember to use the appropriate format or citation style (such as MLA, APA, or Chicago) as per your teacher or professor's instructions.
