INQUIREY+CYCLE



=Below is the diagram that we used last year. The Inquiry Cycle is ONE: What varies is its graphic representation—of which there are many, and the fact that this new one is enriched with questions.=


 * In case you want to know how the two relate, it is quite simple: **


 * ** TUNING IN: Planning (Stage 1) and Focusing & Preparing (Stage 2) **


 * ** FINDING OUT: Finding Information (Stage 3) **


 * ** SORTING OUT: Using Information (Stage 4) **


 * ** GOING FURTHER: Synthesis (Stage 5) **
 * MAKING CONCLUSIONS: Evaluation (Stage 6)
 * TAKING ACTION: Action (Stage 7)

= We just went through the week of TUNING IN. In other words, last week you should have begun planning for your inquiry, and this week you must have completed the focusing and preparing stages. = = The next week should be devoted to collecting information in an organized way. = The Inquiry Cycle
