Intel Education: Designing Effective Projects: Curriculum-Framing Questions on 2008-07-21
- They give projects a balance between content understanding and exploration of
  intriguing and enduring ideas that make learning relevant to students.
- Essential and Unit Questions provide the rationale for learning. They help
  students to recognize the "why" and "how" and encourage inquiry, discussion, and
  research

- - Good Essential and Unit Questions engage students in critical thinking, promote
    curiosity, and develop a questioning approach to the curriculum.
  - Essential Questions:
    
    Introduce big, enduring ideas that cross all subjects. They provide a
    bridge between many units, subject areas, or even a year’s worth of study.
    Have many answers. Answers to these questions are not found in a book. They
    are often life’s big questions. For example: Am I my brother’s
    keeper?
    Capture students’ attention and require higher-order thinking; they
    challenge students to dissect their thinking, apply their values, and interpret
    their experiences.
  - Unit Questions:
    
    Are open-ended and invite exploration of ideas that are specific to a topic,
    subject, or unit of study. Teams of teachers from different subjects can use
    their own unique Unit Questions to support one common, unifying Essential
    Question across the team.
    Pose problems or serve as discussion starters that support the Essential
    Question. For example: How can we help prevent and relieve famine?
    
    Encourage exploration, provoke and sustain interest, and allow for unique
    responses and creative approaches. They force students to interpret the facts
    themselves.
  - Content Questions:
    
    Typically have clear-cut answers or specific “right” answers and are
    categorized as “closed” questions.
    Align with content standards and learning objectives and support the
    Essential and Unit Questions.
    Test students’ ability to recall fact based information. They usually
    require students to address who, what, where, and when. For example: What is
    famine?
    Require knowledge and comprehension skills to answer.
