Blog 9: EQ

Content

1.   Review this.  Confirm by stating "I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ."
Essential Question 
Once a topic is chosen, the student will develop a working essential question.  The purpose of the working essential question is to help the student build a strong foundation of research which will allow him or her to create an essential question that encourages depth and rigor in the chosen topic.  An essential question must:
  • Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)
  • Takes a stance (Allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
  •  Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)
I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

2.  Review the following EQs and
  • Tell us if it meets the rule of 3 criteria.
  • Tell why it does or why it doesn't
 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
 d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

A)It meets the rule of 3 criteria since it not a simple yes/no question. Stances can be taken in accord to the question and is simple to understand terms.
B) Does not meet rule of 3 criteria because it does not provide enough information to research specific topics (what types of criminal investigations). Wording is a bit confusing, not stating a specific element (most important...).
C)Meets the rule of 3. Stances can be taken albeit not too detailed or specific. It provides a framework for study and makes sense.
D) Does not meet rule of 3. Stance cannot be taken and rather leaves one to read from a list to answer the EQ. Wording make sense.

3.  Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project.
