What is an Essential question?

An essential question points toward important, transferable ideas within disciplines. Essential questions raise additional questions and spark further inquiry. Essential questions require support and justification, not just an answer. Essential questions recur and become continually relevant over time; regardless of what part of the story you are reading.
