EQ


 Content

1. 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)
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 meet the rule of three because it isn't a yes and no questions, I believe that it will have enough and more research on weight loss.
  b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
It sounds good but it does not meet rule of three criteria because I believe the question needs to be specific even more.
  c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
This does not meet the criteria  because it is mostly an opinion, and also this essential question wont have many research.
  d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
This EQ does meet the rule of three because there can be many information on this topic.
 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.
  • What is the most important reason to get people to switch to a No Kill Rescue shelter and to be well informed of a Traditional Animal shelter?

Meet the baby Guinea Pigs

Baby Piggy's
 
 
This white and gray guinea pig was born today. The mommy gave birth to two guinea pigs.

I also found out that another guinea pig had two piggy's and they are about two weeks old.
 
This one of the baby guinea pig.( Two weeks old)

Today was a good day to do mentorship because I was their when the babies where born. And also I learned that when they are born they tend to be active like they have there eyes wide open and start to run  really fast because they hide from predators.
