Crafting and Presenting EngagingNon-Fiction TextUsing digital tools to enhance an inquiry approach to teaching non-fiction reading and writing
Background and Resources
The Inquiry Approach Starts with students’ questions. Study leads to
answers and more questions.
Content is the outcome of study not the starting point.
Depth not coverage (exceeding standards)
Grounded in authentic processes and products
Teacher’s role is to facilitate learning not to transmit knowledge
