1.   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)

2. a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
            This eq can have different answers depending on the person because everyone can have different opinions on the same thing so it does allow for some argument. The formant is specific and I understand what it is asking. I also believe this eq provides a framework for studies because there are so many things that can be researched to come up with an answer.

  b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
             I believe this eq meets the requirements because there can be different options that can be considered important therefore allowing more than one answer and for it to be argued. 

             

 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
            This eq can be improved because i am not sure how this can provide a framework for studies. There can be research but maybe it does not go into much depth.

            

 d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
         I believe this eq meets the rule of three because everything seems to be there. Like I've said before people can give different answers for 'best treatment' since each believes in different things.

            

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.
