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.

You might want to invest (not the money I see being asked on Amazon, but $10 seems about right) in Edwin Fenton's work, which was popular in the 1960s/70s. Any good education library should have his work.
He is the father of this movement.
I definitely recommend the links they have in the article. Here is another: http://www.historicalinquiry.com/scim/index.cfm
