Curriculum-Framing Questions build upon each other. Content Questions support Unit Questions and both support Essential Questions. Essential Questions are often the most intriguing and posed first. The questions below from a civics unit show the relationship between each.

Essential Question
- Why do we need others?
Unit Questions
- Which of our community helpers is the most important?
- Which community helper would you most like to be?
Content Questions
- Who are some community helpers?
- What do community helpers do?
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.
