Questions, not statements will stimulate student curiosity to find the answers. Developing Essential Questions From:“Unwrapping” the Standards Presented by: Center for Performance Assessment

Essential Questions Cannot be answered with “yes” or “no” or with simple recall of facts Often written as “one-two punch” questions: “What are literary devices? Why do authors use them?” “What is estimation? When and how do we use it?”

Essential Questions Open-ended, yet focus inquiry into a specific topic Answering them requires high-level depth of knowledge (DOK) Succinct – a few words that demand a lot

Benefits of Essential Questions Teachers use as instructional filter for selecting lessons and activities that advance student understanding toward Big Ideas Students develop their understanding of concepts and processes as they move through instruction and activities The work students produce provides evidence that the standards have been met—and to what degree (defined by rubric or scoring guide criteria)

History/Social Science Big Idea and Essential Question BI: “Geographic, political, cultural, and religious structures work together to ensure the survival and advancement of all civilizations.” EQ: “Why do all civilizations—past and present—need organizational structures?”

Science Big Idea and Essential Questions BI: “People can learn and apply a systematic process for understanding the natural world.” EQ: “What is scientific inquiry? How do we use it in real life?”

Math Big Idea and Essential Questions BI: Mathematical formulas provide shortcuts for verifying estimates and solving problems. EQ: Why learn mathematical formulas? How do estimation and formulas work together?

ELA Big Idea and Essential Questions BI: Writing is the process of communicating in print for a variety of audiences and purposes. EQ: How do good writers express themselves? How does process shape the writer’s product?
