INQUIRY UNITS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

Edited by Dawn Forde et al. Designed by practicing classroom teachers, these instructional units integrate reading, writing, speaking, and listening with inquiry-based activities that require students to work collaboratively and hone their critical-thinking skills. While based firmly in language arts, the units also have students consider contemporary problems related to equity, justice, identity, freedom, and social reform. Based around themes such as what it means to be human, confronting stereotypes and prejudice, and ethics and rebellion, the units provide implementation instructions, scenario-based lesson plans, assessment options, and guidelines for maintaining lines of inquiry in each lesson.
