Collaborative/Inquiry Lessons

Just like every lesson you must have an overview. For an inquiry lesson you should say what you are doing and how this lesson is an inquiry instruction. For your goals you should have three: Academic, Information Processing, and Performance objectives. Remember to put your materials and also add your technology materials. Put in any of your vocabulary words that will be use in the lesson, underneath academic vocabulary. Then begin your introduction procedure. The introduction should be how you will greet the class, what they will be learning, and how they will review the steps of inquiry. It is very important to review the steps of inquiry so students can use it for any problem they face. Next is the explore procedure, where the teacher should break the students up into groups and provide a good explanation on what the activity is and how the students will do it. Elaborate is when you write the students independent practice. For evaluate you should put down three of your assessments: Diagnostic, Formative, and Summative. Don't forget to write about your modifications/accommodations. Then finally write some reflective questions that you would like to ask yourself at the completion of the inquiry lesson.
