Blog 6: Defining the essential question



1. EQ: What is the most positive effect young women can gain from participating in Miss America pageants?

2. Define words in EQ
 Positive effect: a positive quality of characteristic that is gained
Miss America pageants: All local, state and national pageants under the Miss America organization

3. Possible answers:
Interview skills
Social skills
Learning to speak and preform before an audience
Being able to inform people of your platform

4.What has been your most important source and why?

My most important source would have to be my first interview with Sara Gleason. She has competed in Miss America pageants at the local level for about 5 years now, and had a lot of insight to give me about her experiences. She loves being in the pageants so she was able to tell me all of the positive things they've done for her life and has only ever competed under the Miss America organization.

  1. Looks good...you'll really want to be specific about how the pageant develops these skills in a different way from other organizations like Toastmasters.
