Synopsis

Dinosaurs. Life under the sea. Airplanes. Ancient Egypt. These are the things that interest children - much more than reading period or the daily math lesson. All teachers know that interested students are better learners, and that's why projects have long been part of the elementary curriculum. But how can teachers build on the enthusiasm they generate? Can project work really become the focus of the classroom, without sacrificing important teaching and learning? And how can project work be evaluated? In Inquiry in the Classroom, David Wray shows how projects can be a driving force in the early school years. With careful planning, project work can touch on all aspects of the curriculum. By involving students in that planning, we can ensure that their interest will be maintained. And, by setting realistic goals and allowing for creativity and flexibility in project outcomes, evaluation can be designed to reflect real learning. Special Features: Numerous photocopiable charts and diagrams. Audience: Creative teachers of young children who are looking for activities that work successfully, excite young learners and please the parents.
