Becoming a critical inquirer (pg. 82)
Help students move beyond fact finding, retelling, and making personal connections - to - issues they explore as a means to create a more just world.
Shifting kids awareness from finding out what to becoming aware of the practices and processes they use as critical inquirers... like shifting focus from listening to a teacher teach content (the "what") to watching "how" she is teaching...
How do you get them to see the processes they are using?
Mapping paths of inquiry - sketch a kind of storyboard of the actual group process - they can then share and discuss with other groups the different processed used.
Sorting Questions and Responses - Data-gathering questions vs process-questions vs critical questions
Imagining Alternative Scenarios - highlight productive invitation processes, but be open to new and different ways to approach things
Learning from Experience - build skills over time
