<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Students have to think critically to answer an essential question. Instead of simply looking up answers, they conduct research and create an original answer. An essential question: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Examples: Mexican grey wolves are nearly extinct in their natural habitat of the Southwest. Many people advocate reintroducing them into the wild, whereas others show concern for livestock and fear that the wolves will be a detriment to their livelihoods. Should Mexican grey wolves be reintroduced into the wild? Substantiate your answers with facts.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">What Is an Essential/Driving Question? **
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">provokes deep thought.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">solicits information-gathering and evaluation of data.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">results in an original answer.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">helps students conduct problem-related research.
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">makes students produce original ideas rather than predetermined answers.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">may not have an answer.
 * 7) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">encourages critical thinking not just memorization of facts.
