Teachers are asked to produce essential questions for their students, but sometimes forget to ask them of themselves. When creating lesson plans, teachers should remember to think with a little "backward design". Ask what the end game of the lesson really is and how, if a certain goal is in mind, how to get there with the most understanding. Keeping focused on the end can sometimes help to simplify lesson plans for both teacher and student.
