    The idea of persistence has been helping many of my students with math facts, which is really memorization. The comment about the "Western attitude towards struggling" is interesting - and that we shouldn't jump in to help right away.

    Thank you sharing this post. I was dismayed to read the comments from teachers about the Kindergarten program, however, Their responses reflected my worries: They said that the challenges included: "1st half of the year was way too easy", they "had to use a lot of supplemental material", "purchased a lot of new materials", and that there was "no differenciation." I am hoping to hear a more positive plug for the Kindergarten program from another source.

    Sampling of Essential Questions - which do you like best?

    This is a great resource! So many valuable questions that apply to what we teach. For example, a repetitive theme throughout second grade history is "whom do we believe?" and the kids begin to internalize this question. When it comes up in our Pocahontas at the end of the year, students often relate it to Greek myths at the beginning of the year.

    My favorites were: "Whose story is it?" "What does it mean to make a living?" -Although this one is more specific to a unit discussion as opposed to an overarching question to keep asking... I also noticed one question was: " Can an individual make a difference?" I would encourage teachers to ask, " HOW does an individual make a difference."

    I really like seeing these questions fleshed out like this. I have been struggling some with the foreign language essential questions when it comes to specific content. For culture and actual language learning parts of the curriculum, the essential questions are easier for me to formulate, but when it comes to "just plain translation" and learning content, I am not sure how to create relevant, thought provoking essential questions. This list helps give me some ideas.

    Great questions! My favorites were: Can fiction reveal the truth? What would happen if people couldn't read? How can I make a positive difference? What is worth fighting for? How much should it cost? Who decides? Whose "story" is it?

    I agree with Laura. It really helps to see a selection of questions to get brainstorming. I also like how Robin "spun" the last language of the last EQ she posted- just a tad - to make it more meaningful to the students. In the past, I've been wary of posting "blanket" EQ posters I'd seen hanging around my closet for reasons that were mentioned in this article. I'm looking forward to working together with my team to create EQs that follow a logical sequence, that are understood by all learners and resonate with the topics we are covering, in order to post them throughout the classroom to refer back to often. The EQ's listed here provide a thoughtful launching point. :)

    There's so many great ones! Some of my favorite ones are What is power? Who holds it? Who am I? Can an individual make a difference?
