In a effort to meet the new state standards with the DBQ essay, I have developed a new format that I am piloting in my US History classes.  Although we are always looking for new and better ways to address essays, my fellow department members and I decided to email NYSED to make sure that this format was suitable.  Below is the text of the message from JoAnn Larson at NYSED and a link to the actual template.
