Stripling Model of Inquiry
- Connect: Provide detailed context to the sources and connect to the major themes of historical study. What connects with each group of students is particular to them and to the time.
- Wonder: Develop focus questions at different levels of thought and connect to larger themes for the unit of study.
- Investigate: Determine the main ideas and details. Investigate the purpose of the source and the author’s point of view.
- Construct: Draw conclusions about the evidence that has been compiled.
- Express: Apply new ideas to share with others.
- Reflect: After every investigation, short or long, pause to ask what we learned about the inquiry process. What new skills? What approaches? What pitfalls? Also take a moment to identify new or still unanswered questions to take learning to a higher level.
