It's all well and fine to read the description of the inquiry method, but what does it look like where the rubber meets the road?
Read this description by a teacher in England using inquiry (enquiry) as the method for teaching students about the Holocaust. It's especially valuable because he describes his own progression over a three-year period as an inquiry teacher, from beginning steps to more advanced use of the method.
I especially liked this sample because there has been much use of inquiry in Science, but the bigger stretch is to figure out how to do it outside the Science classroom.
