Developing Inquiry Questions
Please read the excerpt from the Shared inquiry handbook from the Great Books Foundation. Once you have finished reading, please compose a quick write in response to the following:
How have you thought about developing interpretive questions in the past?
What did this excerpt from the Great Books Foundation add to your understanding of developing interpretive questions?
Principles of an Inquiry-based Discussion

Materials for our work together during the meeting
We'll follow the steps on the task sheet as we complete the interpretation work for "Curanderismo"
Revising and Refining Interpretive Questions
This is the sequence of tasks that you started in November. Please take a look at the interpretive question you deveolped and work with your team to respond to the following:
How does the question we developed fit in to the frame work from Great Books?
How might we revise or refine that question if it doesn't quite fit?
Bridge to Practice
The purpose of this bridge to practice is for you to continue to develop an interpretation task.
Work with your team to develop an interpretation question that
uses your own uncertainty,
focuses on important ideas; and
explores the complexities and contradictions in a text.
Remember, this question should support more than yes or no responses and should be rooted in the text.
Once you have drafted your question, work as a team to develop a task sheet for that question. You'll be asked to share your question (and task sheet if you created one) at our next meeting.
Please let us know if you have any questions and have a great break!
