Here are digital copies of the handouts for this week's inquiry workshop. Even if you don't get to come to the workshops, these papers are still useful for you. Most of them are PDFs to preserve the formatting, but I've also included the regular document versions of some so that they're easy for you to adapt for your own lessons and activities.
First up are the workshop agendas: Intermediate workshop (doc) Primary workshop (doc) Primary Workshop (pdf)
Here's a simple question web that I use at the beginning of inquiry units. You can easily make your own or find one online if this one isn't right for you: Question web
This is a generic song-writing worksheet. I also make more specific ones for different units.: Song worksheet pdf song worksheet doc
This planning guide is just to help you get started planning your own inquiry units. You'll probably want to start adapting this one to best fit your style.

Here is the two-column notes sheet I tend to use most. I'm sure there are many other examples of this style organizer out there on the web, and it's very easy to make your own. Two column notes (doc)
And finally the interest survey. There are many, many of these out there. This is the one I made and use, but, again, you can find others or modify this to fit your needs. Interest survey (doc)
Now for an assortment of other papers that I might mention or you might find helpful:
Time and Space Machine Photo Permission Slip (doc)
Self-Checkout Guide for Magazines (doc)
Self-Checkout Guide for Books (doc) This is for Circ Plus from Follett. You can easily adapt it.
I will eventually have research journal examples on here, but they didn't translate well to Google Docs so they need some work. If you would like something emailed to you, let me know.
Happy planning!
