APPROVAL OF TOPICS AND INQUIRY QUESTION MUST BE SIGNED BY ME PRIOR TO STARTING!

Students are starting an Inquiry Project.  Many students had time to start planning this week!  Please see the inquiry ppt used to introduce the process.

Power point – Project PPT Inquiry

1. Please pick ONE topic from the handout GIVEN IN CLASS (there are over 32 Topics)
2. You will then use the process of Inquiry to create the BIG QUESTION (see ppt)
3. Once I have approved the question you will create 4 sub questions to answer the BIG QUESTION.
4. Once I have approved you may start the research process (I have the note taking guide for you.  I recommend using the computer to organize notes)
5. I will be checking the BLOG at the end of our research week #1 (this means next week).  At the end of research week you Blog on how the research went and upload what you have completed..
