Themes: Industrial Era "Create your own DBQ"

This guide was created to support the Themes DBQ assignment, Winter 2024-25. For questions or help accessing sources or citing sources, please reach out to Ms. Sinai asinai@lawrenceville.org

Citing in Chicago/Turabian Style

History courses at Lawrenceville require students to use Chicago/Turabian Citation Style.

In Chicago/Turabian Style, you will need to create two citations for each source:

  • A full bibliographic citation (goes at the end of your paper on the Bibliography page; your sources should be listed in alphabetical order by author)
  • A footnote (added at the end of the page where the source is referenced)

Only cite the information that is available to you. If you cannot identify a piece of the template [e.g. an author or date], leave it out rather than making it up.

For additional help with citation, use the libchat feature in this research guide or stop into the library to work with a librarian. 

AI Guidelines and Tips

As part of your initial research, you may use an AI tool like ChatGPT to help you identify useful sources, keywords, and themes in your research. Remember that AI tools do not always contain accurate information; you must do your due diligence as a researcher to confirm the data and evidence that your question generates. Ask ChatGPT to show you a list of references/sources, and then head to those sites to read the information for yourself. Be mindful that bias in your original question can also lead to bias in the results. 
 

You must cite your query, and can use Noodletools to help you. After creating your project in Noodletools, select "new source", from a website, then select "AI Response/Output". The prompt should contain the original question you asked ChatGPT. You should also cite follow-up responses or prompts that help to clarify your original prompt and provide sources that you plan to use.
