"If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes."
~Albert Einstein
Good essential questions can help to engage students and guide instruction, but exactly what makes a question an "essential" question?
One definition:
• a question which requires the student to develop a plan or course of action.
• a question that requires the student to make a decision.
