Module 6 - Activity 5 - Curriculum Framing Questions

Curriculum Framing Questions (CFQs) are a vital part of creating any project.  These questions are used to help the creator focus on the objectives of the project and how they actually fit the curriculum requirements.  In addition, they guide the learner through aspects of the project in a structured way, by answering a variety of questions that build a conclusion of the overarching question.

CFQs are broken into:
The Essential Question
Unit Questions
Content Questions

The Essential Question is the big question that needs to be answered.  The Unit Question(s) is a supporting question(s) that narrows the Essential Question down to a more manageable size.  From the Unit Questions come the Content Questions which are to be quite varied.  There should be several Content Questions which build towards answers of the Unit Questions.  Having answered the Unit Questions, conclusions can be drawn for the Essential Question through critical thinking and analysis.
