The following ideas and suggestions for approaching an inquiry project are taken from "iWonder 9: an Inquiry-Based Anthology", published by McGraw Hill Education, 2016.
1. The assumption when constructing this page is that your teacher or your Teacher-Librarian, Mr. Morrison, has already explained the Inquiry Process and you have already selected a topic.
2. In the event that you really have no idea what you're doing, you should CLICK HERE now. Otherwise, proceed to #3.
3. Just in case you need a format to follow, click HERE or HERE for two different Inquiry Process Charts to help guide you through your project.
4. The 'Database & Prescribed Websites' tab at the top of the page is divided into subject areas. Each subject area contains databases that are especially designed for high school students. These databases will help you build the foundation of your research. The websites have been suggested by teachers.
5. These websites or databases may ask you for a username and password. They are both 62BEL.
6. Belmont Library Learning Commons also has an extensive collection of books. To search our catalogue, CLICK HERE.
7. Mr. Morrison, Belmont's Teacher-Librarian, is happy to help you -- please do not hesitate to ask.
8. If you feel you need an even more detailed plan of action to complete your inquiry project, here is a link to a booklet published by Prince Edward Island's Ministry of Education with fill-in-the-blank worksheets especially designed to help you through any inquiry project. It was especially designed for students just like you -- CLICK HERE.
9. Although 'cutting and pasting' can be fun, it's also unethical, immoral, and often illegal. To understand more about PLAGIARISM, please CLICK HERE; or if you already understand, but want help with CITING YOUR SOURCES, please CLICK HERE.
10. Finally, how do you know when you're finished and when to stop? You have finished once you have answered your initial inquiry question and can comfortably demonstrate either orally, or through writing, or perhaps through a visual presentation not just the sterile facts, but its impact on you, or our society, or the world as whole.
11. If you're still in doubt, ask your teacher. He or she is the final authority.
