  • A Reaction Review Guide is used after reading or study of a topic.  This guide helps the student synthesize what they have learned by responding to statements about the lesson. Students can look back at their books for information or details.  They can then write a response to the statement either agreeing or disagreeing.

Students resolve competing ideas discovered during their research or develop new questions to explore based on any missing or conflicting information. Once students’ I-Charts are complete, they can be used to help organize their writing for an informational essay on the topic.

The parts of the Inquiry Cycle fit together like puzzle pieces - Tuning In, Finding Out, Sorting Out, Going Further, Making Conclusions, Taking Action. The key questions serve to prompt students to reflect on their learning.
