•  Consider how we’d like our young readers
and writers to be thinking and acting…
Consider how the inquiry process might
foster these thoughts and actions
•  Explore and reflect on five instructional
techniques to actively engage young
children in the beginning stages of inquiry
using the Internet while building skills in
reading, writing, & critical thinking
Research says mo8vated and engaged readers… •  Ask ques6ons, inquire (Tovani, 2000; Wilhelm, 2007) •  Preview, predict, ac6vate background knowledge (Herber, 1978; Beuhl, 2009) •  Interact with, ac6vely explore (Guthrie, 2008; Burke, 2010) •  Seek authen6city and relevance (Guthrie, 2008; Wilhelm, 2007) Quickwrite and then share:
How does a
motivated
learner think? THOUGHTS ? What does an
engaged
reader do? ACTIONS ? How can we mo8vate and engage readers? Create inten6onal opportuni6es for the following in our teaching: •  Wondering •  An6cipa6ng •  Exploring •  MaXering (being of importance; having significance) 1 3/12/13 Internet Inquiry Baskets
