". . . every lesson should be for the teacher an inquiry, some further discovery, a quiet form of research."
-- Garth Boomer
During the Spring semester, 1998, Language and Literacy Education students completed a two part inquiry as part of their early field placement (a pre-student teaching experience). The first part of the inquiry was designed as a theoretical exploration of some topic of concern to each individual literacy educator. The second part of the inquiry was intended to put theory into practice, and to reflect on what was learned through that experience.
On the following pages are the results of these inquiry projects.
