Yesterday I let my kids go on their inquiry. It was pretty full on! Books, computers, printouts, things were flying everywhere.
Ive been using thinkquest library for material that is easy to read for my kids.
The kids also used wiki answers and after a while I was able to show them how find other information sources. They were very nervous to use google I think. It takes a lot of work to work out which websites they can read and understand. That evaluative skill ended up becoming a real teaching point.
I wonder how todays lesson will go. I have about half the kids so I normally do so it should be good to help out those kids who need it.
