Blog 10: EQ

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)
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)

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

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?
 This does cover the rule of three, it doesn't have a yes/no response because there can always be more than one answer.  

b.What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
This eq does cover the rule of three, its answer wouldn't be a yes/no response. They can have many of answers depending on the person.  

c.What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
This essential question doesn't cover the rule because the question would have to have answers as facts because they would have to have different surveys made because not everyone would be satisfied the same way.

 d.How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
This question is actually straight forward and it allows for it to be argued because depending from the different research each person makes, they can find an answer.


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.  The senior team will be meeting with students shortly for EQ revision and approval; you are expected to bring your research notebook to that meeting with your EQ draft written inside in pencil.
