EQ

Content

1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

An essential question must:

• Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)
• Take a stance (It allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
•  Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)

2.  Review the following EQs and

• Tell us if each meets the rule of three.
• Tell why they do or don't.

 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
Yes because it's specific and the most important factor can be debateable. The eq itself is not biased in any way, and it's worded easily to comprehend.

 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
No because the structure and wording seems very broad and a bit confusing.

 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
Yes, its extremely specific as well as clearly formatted. 

 d.  How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
No because that's kind of an open ended question. I think there could be different answers to that depending on who you talk to. it's not really specific.

3. What is the most significant factor in insuring the independence of a special ed student by the age of five?
