a question about using essential questions

I have been working with new teachers about using essential questions to =
guide them in planning their lessons. A second grade teacher and a level 1 =
and 2 French teacher (high school) have asked me about whether essential =
questions can be used with their subjects.

Both teachers are teaching many SKILLS-- for second grade, reading and =
writing-- and in French, basic vocabulary, verb tenses, etc.

Do any of you have experience using essential questions in grades/courses =
like these, or know of anyone to whom I can speak, or resources to read to =
guide them (and me) with this?
