ABSTRACT
The best moments usually occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile. The intent of both the large-group instruction and the second round of conferencing is to guide students as they transform their interest area into an important and burning inquiry question. Unlike learning in the classroom, which is traditionally linear, inquiry learning is a series of events, cyclical and iterative, because it is driven by the need for knowledge. Webbing is a technique that makes thinking visual. It involves creating a web, a visual map that shows how different categories of information relate to one another. The customized inquiry questions that students will generate become the launching pad for each student to expand themselves.
