EQ Explained - (this is a repost from 10/15/13)

Students will be required to write EQ questions and answer them appropriately for a variety of readings and activities throughout the year. This will help develop conceptual thinking that focuses on evidence from the reading or activity to support student explanations.

EQ (Essential Question) - a question that asks a complex question that requires a detailed answer that include all of the following elements in a paragraph between 4 - 6 sentences.

Elements:
1. an explanation of the major concept, event, or historical contributions of a person in relation to the question.
2. uses 2 - 3 examples or pieces of evidence found in the reading, text, or activity that supports the explanation of the major idea of the question.
3. uses and defines key terms found in the reading or activity that relate to and add to an understanding of the main concept.
3a - The definitions are not given directly, but instead the term is used in such a way by the writer that it is clear that the writer understands the meaning and appropriate usage of the terms as part of their answer.
