The answers to this question help us decide what kind of 'guidance' is/might be needed. ]]> 2018-10-25 13:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296931992 Sometimes it can be more teacher directed/whole class which can then help the individual move along on their independent research https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932042 2018-10-25 13:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932042 When someone chooses something personal, they actually need more conferring and guidance lbreckan1 https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932134 2018-10-25 13:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932134 In reality,  inquiry teaching usually requires an ever-changing mix of guidance levels.  lmeehan12 https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932208 2018-10-25 13:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932208 Lesson studies lmeehan12 https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932406 We need opportunities to practice “the techniques of releasing responsibility, allowing some struggle, observing and listening, slowing down, waiting and explaining at the point of need means we learn to step in less frequently and with less ‘volume’ than we may have thought necessary”. ]]> 2018-10-25 13:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932406 Model, Model, Model the inquiry process and being curious ourselves. kpinta1 https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932480 2018-10-25 13:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932480 How do you get first grade students to come up with meaningful questions lbreckan1 https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932845 2018-10-25 13:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932845 ealiotta3 https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296932981 I agree that we are providing students time to inquire into questions or needs they have determined are important to them (iTime/discovery time for example). This usually sits alongside a shared/class inquiry into a compelling question and is most often explored over several weeks.  - GENIUS _ MODEL ALONGSIDE.

In first grade, they need to learn how to inquire about something...I believe the first round should be more teacher guided and then the students can take more ownership knowing the expectations that go along with inquiry scarlson106 https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296933080 2018-10-25 13:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296933080 Modeling and sharing in the process is critical for young learners. https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296933746 2018-10-25 13:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296933746 How do you manage all the students in their own inquiry? scarlson106 https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296933768 2018-10-25 13:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296933768 What resources are available for first graders to find information at their reading level so they can independently work on their inquiry project? scarlson106 https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296934212 2018-10-25 13:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296934212 I LOVE shared reading and writing activities to model the inquiry process; they are active participants of the activities and they see what the process should look like. https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296934688 2018-10-25 13:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296934688 Develop teacher created texts if there are no texts on a topic. jburtonreadnwrite1 https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296935170 2018-10-25 13:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jburtonreadnwrite1/5eypxdvacekt/wish/296935170
