November Post

This month I started working in the studio again. I didn't do much just putting things together and helping Jack clean up his office area. Here are some photos of that:

[ This is a photo of all the orders that I had to put together for Claremont High's football team.]

[ This is Jack's office.]

[ This is one of the cupboards that I had to clean out, unfortunately I don't have an after photo.]

Overall, this month was pretty uneventful in terms of work and such, hopefully December is less dull.

Blog 9: EQ

1.   Review this.  Confirm by stating "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)

I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

2.  Review the following EQs and

• Tell us if it meets the rule of 3 criteria.
• Tell why it does or why it doesn't

a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?

This EQ does because you can argue what the most important factor in healthy weight loss, you can do in depth research on this and the wording makes sense.

b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?

I think that this would only lead to one answer.

c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?

Honestly this seems more like an interview question, rather than a question that would take a lot of research to answer.

d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

The question is well formatted and there are definitely different points that this can be argued from and there’s a lot of research that can go into this.

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.
