Essential Questions

I've used essential questions in my planning of assignments. I have (on occassion) remembered to highlight those essential questions for my students and have them consider them before a lesson. I have also (on occassion) brought the students back to the essential question at the end of a unit/lesson to help them guage their learning.

Exercising this methodology with every lesson is a strategy that helps students develop their metacognitive skills. I must apply this with every new concept in my online and my face to face courses. That's one of my goals. Implementing it and analyzing its effectiveness will take some organization.
