Our Essential Questions

  • From whose viewpoint are we seeing or reading or hearing? From what angle or perspective?
  • How do we know when we know? What's the evidence, and how reliable is it?
  • How are things, events, or people connected to each other? What is the cause and what is the effect? How do they fit together?
  • What's new and what's old? Have we run across this idea before?
  • So what? Why does it matter? What does it all mean?
