Welcome to the Inquiry Skills Blog

Hello students!

This will be a valuable resource for you to find longer-term assignments that include reading, defining key terms, and answering key questions. Also, I may link other information I would like you to see such as video footage or scholarly journals accompanied with a writing assignment.

I understand some of you do not have regular access to the internet, so I will be informing you anytime there is a new blog post for your viewing pleasure and the due dates will be reasonable.

If you see words in red those are your KEY TERMS for the article. Make sure you define each of those terms utilizing context clues. If you must use a dictionary, please put the definition IN YOUR OWN WORDS. We will build on this vocabulary in class and you will be subject to Pop Quizzes.

If you wish to respond to any of the articles on the blog please feel free to do so. You may ask questions or just leave a comment about the content of the article. While doing so is not required unless stated in the posting, leaving comments will count towards your participation grade in the course.

Also, please make sure that you check for spelling and use proper grammar in any posts you make to the blog.


Best,


Ms. Valdez
