This is an amazing open ended question.  Benjamin Franklin will forever be remember for his invention of the lightening rod and many other inventions.  I think it would awesome to compare inventions from the 1700s and the inventions we have today.  Cars would be a great discuss on how far they have come since the 1700s.

I love how your language fits your students. First graders would not see the relevance of Lewis and Clark since they are just old guys that did something a long time ago. I also like having the students analyze a trait. This will apply to upper grades when we establish traits and provide evidence.

Great question! There are so many possible answers and students can get great ideas from their classmates to use in their own writing.

I love your Franklin essential question because there are so many right answers! I think it is important for first graders to know there are different ways to answer a question (most of the time). Your question lets teachers know if their students understand many different skills, such as comparing past and present and facts about Franklin.
Thank you for posting!

your second question is exactly what my kids are doing with their opinion writing. The only difference is they are choosing any inventor from that time period and showing how they affected the 21st century.
