Blog 10: EQ

1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

2. Review the following EQs and
  • Tell us if each meets the rule of three. 
  • Tell why they do or don't. 
A. What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
  • This essential question follows the rule of three because it is not a straight forward question that you can answer with a simple yes and no response. You are also able to fully understand the question without being confused. 
B. What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
  • This question also follows the rule of three because they are asking something that can have many answers and it also allows you to argue different points to the question. This question is also very specific in what they are asking. 
C. What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
  • This question does not follow the rule of three. I think if they where to specify on one hairstyle rather than having many factors contributing it would be framed better. You are able to argue points because everyone thinks differently. The question can be answered in many ways which creates a broad area rather than being specific. 
D. How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
  • This question as well as the previous do not follow the rule of three. It does allow for more research to occur since it is a pretty broad topic. I don't really think you can take a stance on this because if you where to do research you would find more facts rather than opinions. On the other hand the wording does make sense. 
3. Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project. The senior team will be meeting with students shortly for EQ revision and approval; you are expected to bring your research notebook to that meeting with your EQ draft written inside in pencil.
  • When trying to convey emotion, how can camera shots affect the perception of the audience?

Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection

1. Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?
  • The thing that I was most proud of was that I didn't get as nervous presenting alone and that I had my content ready.
2. Questions to Consider a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.
  • In think I deserve this grade because I didn't make time by 9 seconds and didn't really mention my mentorship.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?
  • I was able to have my things ready on time and was able to continue speaking without stopping continuously. 
4. (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?
  • If I could have gone pack in time I would have finished saying everything I had on my paper rather than just finishing up early.
