Aim: How do we generate our own essential questions?Quick Write: How tough are you? On your blog, explain why you said what you did. Don't forget to give context for your international readers!
Today we'll begin getting into the meat of this course. To help fuel our thinking, we need to come up with some essential questions. Essential questions are questions that are designed to make you think. They can't be answered with a simple yes or no or even with one word. The best open-ended questions begin with Why? or How?
Read this article. You may work with a partner to read it together, using a technique called "reciprocal teaching." To do this, one person reads out loud and the other interjects with questions as they come up. Look up any vocabulary words that you don't understand.
"How to be as Tough as a Drill Sergeant."
After you have read the article, go back to your quick write. Would you change your answer in any way now? How? Why?
On your blog, post at least three essential questions related to tough-mindedness. These questions will later form the basis of a Socratic seminar.
