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?
Yes, it meets the rule of 3 criteria because it allows for further research, allows different answers, and is clear and concise.
b. What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
I think it meets most of the criteria, but I think it should be worded a little bit different because the EQ itself can be a bit misleading as to what the actual topic is. (ex. is he a judge, lawyer, prosecuter, etc.)
c. What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
I think it's a good start but I don't think it meets the criteria because the answer to the EQ is pretty obvious and doesn't call for a lot of additional research.
d. How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
I think the EQ is a little too specific to the point where the student may have trouble finding more than one 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. How can counselors best help troubled teens?
