We reviewed the dbq skills packet, which students then turned in. Then we evaluated the unit 3 dbq prompt and many of the documents, and discussed how reform movements may have sought to expand democratic ideals. Students will write the dbq in class tomorrow, and will be able to use notes written on the question packet.
