Dr Lamb states that "inquiry is the process of formulating questions, organizing ideas, exploring and evaluating information, analyzing and synthesizing data, and communicating findings and conclusions." It is a common technique that can be found in everyday life, used by adults and children alike. While it is often not used to its full potential, when it is it can "create exciting real and virtual learning environments for students and teachers to think and act critically and creatively" (Callison, 81).

Since students in this class are in grades 9 - 12, they should be quite familiar with the information inquiry process. However, since students will have a limited selection in topic and will all produce the same final project, the inquiry will follow more of a guided role. According to Callison, this means that students will select questions based on interest and background knowledge of the topic, that responses to answers were go beyond a "I was required to do it" answer, and questions will be challenging enough to require multiple resources (99). There should also be enough flexibility in choice through what play they pick, what type of scene to do, and how they film their script to keep them excited in the project.

While some may think of the bulk of information inquiry is in the research, this lesson will move students beyond that. In fact, the actual research will play a small role in the overall lesson. Instead, it will be more about how to take that information and use it to make a meaningful project. Students will learn about a certain time period in order to grasp the understanding of speech, costuming, and motivation to create and film a script.

In week one, students will get an introduction to the plays and the assignment. In week two, they will spend class time in the learning center exploring questions about their play's time period. In three and four, students will learn the components of creating a script and will then begin to create their own. During week five and six, students will learn about their filming equipment and tools and will bring their script to life. The lesson will end by presenting all films to the class.  Evaluations will also be done at the end of the lesson.

Both teacher and media specialist will be there to help students along the way. The media specialist will be there to help in the gathering stage to make sure that students are asking the right questions and using a variety of sources to get the answers. The teacher will help the students along in the process of creating the final product. She will make sure that students are gasping the process of creating a script by creating mini-lessons and offering feedback on assignments along the way.
