A good essential question

1. Is open-ended; that is, it typically will not have a single, final, and correct answer.
2. Is thought-provoking and intellectually engaging, often sparking discussion and debate.
3. Calls for higher-order thinking, such as analysis, inference, evaluation, prediction. It cannot be effectively answered by recall alone.
4. Points toward important, transferable ideas within (and sometimes across) disciplines.
5. Raises additional questions and sparks further inquiry.
6. Requires support and justification, not just an answer.
7. Recurs over time; that is, the question can and should be revisited again and again. (Click here for source)

If we truly want to support student agency we need to listen to what they say and give them time to process their initial ideas, so that they may ask questions that are challenging, significant, engaging, and relatable.  (Munich IS)]]> 2018-12-09 02:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenerrolthompson/pre3n9699jb4/wish/312577708 stevenerrolthompson https://padlet.com/stevenerrolthompson/pre3n9699jb4/wish/312578063 “Parking lot” strategy
for emerging questions. Here, students can “park” their questions as they arise and teachers then draw these parked questions back into the learning to extend and enrich the inquiry. While some emerging questions may not seem directly related to the inquiry, the simple question, “What makes you say that?” is an excellent way to draw more information from students to help them explain their thinking and how they see their question relates to the bigger picture of the inquiry. Asking yourself, “How can I make them think more?” ensures that the questions we ask have the scope to allow for deeper thinking. Giving the students time and space to think, reflect, and pose their own questions helps them to see that their thinking is valued. ]]> 2018-12-09 02:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenerrolthompson/pre3n9699jb4/wish/312578063 stevenerrolthompson https://padlet.com/stevenerrolthompson/pre3n9699jb4/wish/312578448 Munich IS use the Visible Thinking Routine 'Question sorts' to help students identify which questions best suit their needs (click here) For a detailed explanation of the routine (click here)]]> 2018-12-09 02:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenerrolthompson/pre3n9699jb4/wish/312578448
