The Essential Question Template

Here is the Essential Question Template

Sentence 1: Background or history of your topic. Gives the reader a chance to figure out what we are talking about.
Sentence 2: State a large, broad problem or issue with your topic.
Sentence 3: Ask a question that-if answered might be a part of the solution to the problem you identified.

Remember, your essential question should be unique to you. Something you are curious about.

If you have questions on the elements of an essential question, see the main JUA website and see my previous post about my mini-JUA insights.

In the United States there are many diffrent types of people. People come from all over the world to live in the U.S. This could create a problem because if one place becomes over populated some citizens might be pushed out of their homes.

*What makes these places in the U.S. apealing to people?

*What are some of the reasons people choose to live here?

If we can answer this then we could create more of these enviorments.

Many immigrants come to the states expecting to find a better life, which some find but it is very difficult for them to settle down because of racism and prejudice. Finding a job and a livable home is one of more difficult things for people to find.

What types of services as an immigrant does the United States provide. Are those places utilized or do people usually use their own connections?
• Health services
• Education
• Jobs
• Homes/living places
