ARTICLE: Teaching History Through Inquiry
I learned about this article today: http://www.edweek.org/tm/articles/2011/10/31/tln_lazar.html?tkn=ZRC... and thought that it would be great to share with this group. I know I try to make my curriculum pop by getting out of the "what happened to these people" line we usually get with history and try to let my students think and discover. This article gives six steps to do this for yourself and also has a few links to pre-made lesson plans which we all love to steal :) And in all honestly inquiry takes a lot of time to prep, so having as many resources as we can have the better.

Kimberly, thanks for posting this article. I agree that inquiry may be one of the best ways to engage students in history. Curious people make some of the best historians, I think, because they want to know what really happened "to these people." It really gets interesting when the existing historical accounts are in conflict with each other.
