It is poking and prying with a purpose. \u2014Zora Neale Hurston<\/em><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">Getting a student to ask a question is possibly the greatest success an educator can have. Curiosity\u2014the desire to know\u2014is educational gold, and inquiry-based instruction mines a child\u2019s curiosity. A recent internet meme declared that a four-year-old asks 437 questions a day. If you do the math, you\u2019ll find that isn\u2019t true. It isn\u2019t even possible. But a lot of people believe it. Why? Because questioning is a child\u2019s natural state. And a good teacher works every day to connect the child\u2019s desire for answers with the information that we as educators believe they need to survive in the world and live satisfying lives. In fact, most pedagogical theories, at their base, are explorations of how to make this connection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">When students are actively involved in the learning process\u2014as opposed to simply receiving information through listening or reading\u2014they retain more, understand more, and, importantly, enjoy learning more. In their article \u201cQuestions that Compel and Support,\u201d S. G. Grant, Kathy Swan, and John Lee cite several recent studies to this effect:<\/p>\n\n<figure style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">\n<blockquote style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">Reports increasingly show how teachers make inquiry the centerpiece of their instructional practices. Even better are those studies that show students\u2014all students\u2014benefitting from inquiry-based instruction. Inquiry can be as effectively pursued with elementary students as with their secondary peers and is as valuable for academically challenged students as the academically gifted. Moreover, studies of large-scale, standardized tests show a positive correlation between high scores and inquiry-based instruction.<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\nIn these Classroom Materials, our goal is to provide teachers with material from the Newberry collections that will inspire students to ask questions. We offer teachers ideas and some background so that they can help students generate&#8211;and answer&#8211;those questions, explore the material, and pursue more knowledge if they wish.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2d97d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f2d97d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Critical Thinking<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7761288 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7761288\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1addb7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1addb7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The natural corollary to inquiry-based learning is, and always must be, critical thinking.

Because we know that a teacher\u2019s time is often limited, we have created a variety of types of materials. Some of the materials are \u201cgrab-and-go\u201d activities. Teachers can take ten minutes to look the material over before entering the classroom and then run with it, confident that it will be academically sound and tied to their curriculum. These can be used to warm up a class as they come into the room, or as an introduction to a new unit in the textbook. On the other hand, some of the lesson plans are quite detailed and could form the basis for their own several-day unit of study.<\/p><p>Many college teachers report that they have to teach entering students the basic skills of information acquisition-\u2014including research and critical thinking\u2014remedially. And it\u2019s not easy. The habit of inquiry, and the skills that make it fruitful, are like a language\u2014much easier to acquire at an early age. It is our hope that these Classroom Materials will help you help your students to learn that language.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3d45878 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3d45878\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-441b7a7\" data-id=\"441b7a7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9d604d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f9d604d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Credits<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-7079362 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7079362\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-db210a5\" data-id=\"db210a5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4edf527 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4edf527\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Funding for the Digital Collections for the Classroom project has been generously provided by the <strong>Grainger Foundation; the<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Mellon Foundation;<\/strong>\u00a0<b>the Chicago Chapter,\u00a0<\/b><strong>National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution;<\/strong> <b>the\u00a0<\/b><strong>Terra Foundation for American Art; <\/strong>and <strong>the National Endowment for the Humanities<\/strong>.
