What are the benefits from personal inquiry? By: Emily Malburg

What is a personal inquiry project? A personal inquiry project is used to have students research a topic or question that interests them. It is a project that is designed to have students write and research what ever they like independently and to help them learn about a topic of their interest. No rubric and more freedom.

Motivation, Creativity, and Independence They get a chance to be creative with their writing as well as their findings. If the students have a passion for something they will be more likely to be interested in it instead of just copying whatever Wikipedia says. Students get a chance to organize their research and paper on their own. No rubrics or guidelines Motivation, Creativity, and Independence

Benefits for Teachers of English Helps with more than writing skills but with comprehension as well. Gives the students a reason to research and write They will want to write because it is something that interest them
