Hello everyone!

For next weeks class please read the Clifford & Friesen article on creating essential questions found here:

http://galileo.org/teachers/designing-learning/resources/creating-essential-questions/

While you are reading try to consider the differences between essential and non essential questions and how this relates to the inquiry process.

Also remember to come to class with your “Top Ten List” of potential inquiry questions. You can check the syllabus or this weeks lecture slides for more details on that assignment.

Have a great weekend! 🙂
