INTRODUCTION
INQUIRY LIBRARY GUIDE: WEATHER (2nd Grade)
This guide will serve as a digital navigation source as students explore weather. The guide will take students through five main stages of Guided Inquiry Design's stages of guided inquiry: Open, Immerse, Explore, Identify, and Gather (Kuhlthau, Maniotes, and Caspari, 2012, p. 2). As students navigate each of the five stages, they will also continue to develop research and information retrieval skills that they have previously studied to become better 21st century learners.
Each stage will give students specific directions and links that will lead them to further discovery and understanding about weather. They will also be provided an open invitation to a google doc where they will take notes and make observations as an aid while they develop a more focused weather-related interest.
In addition to exploring weather as a core standard requirement, students will develop skills needed to reach AASL Information Literacy Standards. This inquiry library guide will reach the following standards:
1.1 Skills: 1.1.1: Follow an inquiry-based process in seeking knowledge in curricular subjects, and make real-world connection for using this process in real life.
1.1 Skills: 1.1.6: Read, view, and listen for information presented in any format in order to make inferences and gather meaning.
1.2 Dispositions in Action: 1.2.1: Display initiative and engagement by posing questions and investigating the answers beyond the collection of superficial facts.
2.1 Skills: 2.1.2: Organize Knowledge so that it is useful.
2.1 Skills: 2.1.5: Collaborate with other to exchange ideas, develop new understandings, make decisions, and solve problems.
3.3 Responsibilities: 3.3.2: Respect the differing interests and experiences of others, and seek a variety of viewpoints.
4.3 Responsibilites: 4.3.1: Participate in the social exchange of ideas, both electronically and in person.
4.4 Self-Assessment Strategies: 4.4.1: Identify own areas of interest.
