ESSENTIAL QUESTION

                                                     ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:

            An essential question frames a unit of study as a problem to be solved. It should connect students’ lived experiences and interests (their only resources for learning something new) to disciplinary problems in the world. And it should connect what they learn back to the real world, where they can put their new understandings to work.

Essential questions can be geared toward uncovering a topic. When my daughter Jasmine was in first grade, she engaged in a habitat unit framed by the essential question What makes a good home?

And when elementary students are learning about characterization, for example, as required by the Common Core State Standards, you can create a context for an inquiry with an essential question as straightforward as What makes a good friend? (or student, teacher, leader, hero, etc.). Or you could focus on traits with a question like What is courage? (or loyalty, maturity, or any other trait).

As students go deep into inquiries such as these, they’ll learn the content and processes they need along the way. (My colleague Michael Smith and I give a more comprehensive treatment on using inquiry to teach reading and writing strategies in our book Fresh Takes on Teaching Literary Elements.)

Likewise, you can proceed from the kind of composing you want students to do. For example, if you want your class to write descriptions, use an essential question like What is a good school? To foster thinking about processes, the question could be rephrased as How can we make the best possible school? For comparing and contrasting: What is the difference between a good and a not-so-good school? The phrasing of the essential question organically informs the kinds of learning activities and culminating projects students will undertake to answer it.

FOOD HABITS AT SCHOOL

 

                            FOOD HABITS AT SHCOOL

         
                       Most students eat junk food instead of healthy food, which damages their bodies and is bad for their health. Junk food has many bad chemicals for the health of students, so to realize the chemicals they give their bodies every day we bring you a spanish video where two girls show us an experiment of how bad it is to eat junk food.

     
If you eat healthy food you will not eat all the chemicals you see in the video so for that we think in a way the students eat healthier that they are doing an in that way all students can eat healthy food all days.



Our propousal is to chane some junk food from the school menu, an example could be to change some things from the menu by vegtables an fruits or if you don't like tem we find a recipe which is of banana and oatmeal muffins.
