The Inquiry Question

Your question should:

• Include reference to your chosen Global Context and your chosen topic
• Be ‘open-ended’ (ie you should not be able to answer it with a ‘yes’, a ‘no’ or a simple answer)
• Preferably begin with ‘how’, ‘why’ or ‘what’
• Encourage inquiry and deep thinking (this is essential as your question will guide your research)

In order to give you some ideas, here are some examples of inquiry questions. They have been divided into each Global Context.

You can also get ideas by looking at the MYP inquiry questions that guide each unit of work you do in each subject (you can view these on ManageBac in your ‘Profile’ section for each class).
