8. Grounding the Concept Inquiries for the Conceptual Key Point: Need to come from their previous experiences, not tied to new content (can be from the “Being There” experience) Have Guided Practice (whole class with teacher support) and Choice Inquiries (independent, whole or small group)

9. Center of Human Brain and Human Learning,Susan Kovalik & Associates 9 The “ABCD” GUIDELINES for Writing Inquiries lways start with the action in mind — What students are to do in order to practice applying what they understand to real-world situations e specific with your directions so that students can see the outcome or finished product in their mind’s eye — What the inquiry is asking them to do onnect to the key point — Will doing this inquiry help students to understand and be able to apply the concept or skill in the key point? EE Ch. 16.4 evelop a product and differentiate inquiries to meet student needs — How will students show they understand content and stretch their skills by using the MI?

10. BEFORE WRITING INQUIRIES: Circle or box the unfamiliar terms in the key point. Develop inquiries that will provide experiences for the students on those points. Label the intelligences, standards, and IEP objectives these inquiries address.
