Title: Essential Questions and Language Learning
Body:
Your InterCom editor has had plenty of interesting conversations about essential questions as they are used in the Understanding by design approach. Pre-service teachers, practicing teachers, and teacher trainers all struggle with and celebrate the process of matching essential understandings with a skill-based content area. Recently an FLTEACH listserv user asked for advice in developing topical essential questions, and the responses have been informative and thought-provoking.
You can follow the discussion by starting with this query: https://listserv.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1507&L=FLTEACH&P=R2871&I=-3&d=No+Match%3BMatch%3BMatches
Then click on “Next” or “Previous” to see responses.
