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:

1) Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)

2) Takes a stance (Allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)

3) Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)
