I created this blog for reference librarians and college professors who are looking for new ways to improve their students' research skills. Inquiry:101, the lesson plan described in this blog, provides you with a framework for teaching first-year history students to craft effective research questions, select possible search terms related to those questions, identify the types of information they need to address their questions, and find potential sources of that information.
If you are a first-time visitor to this blog, click on "The Need" section. There you will read about how I came to develop this lesson plan and the library instruction and educational research that informed that process. "The Plan" section will provide you with an overview on Dr. Thanh Nguyen's Teaching In an Open World instructional design model, upon which this lesson is bassed.
"The Goals" page lists the three goals of this lesson and the three outcomes associated with each of those goals. The numbered goals pages feature detailed lesson plans that will give you the tools you need to help your students achieve each of the three goals. Additionally, the "Standards" page provides information about the Association of College and Research Library Information Literacy Competency Standards associated with the three goals, the "Assessment" page provides rubrics for the summative assessment of each of those three goals and the works cited in the development of this plan can be found in the "References" section.
