1. Confirm you have read the following:
An essential question must:
a. Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, is not a yes/no
question)
b. Take a stance (It allows you to argue some point. Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
c. Format (It is specific. The wording makes sense)
I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.
2. Review the following:
a. What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
a.1. This EQ allows an individual to research different methods that affect weight loss and
how they contribute. It allows the researcher to make a decision based on what they
found was best; allows a stance to be taken. Meets the rule of 3.
b. What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
b.1. This allows the researcher to look up previous convictions and what made them
successful, helping them answer their EQ. Once finished seeing what is successful it
allows researcher to take a stance based on the information they gathered. Meets
rule of 3.
c. What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
c.1. This EQ seems very opinionated, because it is something based on what someone may
like and what another may not; makes arguing difficult. Does not meet rule of 3.
d. How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
d.1. This EQ sets a very good research path because the researcher will be able to look up
information on anesthesiology and how it works; then they will also be able to tie it in
with what chronic pain is and how an anesthesiologist can best treat that pain, providing
different points of view. Meets rule of 3.
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.
What is the most important skill a child develops in their early education that helps them best
excel academically?
