Theory

Beach, Richard and Jaime Myers. Inquiry-Based English Instruction. New York: Teachers College Press, 2001.
 Scholars Beach and Myers detail an alternative framework for student inquiry which involves the study of "social worlds" -- either worlds the students inhabit, such as school, family, or community, or those portrayed in literature and the media.

Holden, James and John S. Schmit (eds). Inquiry and the Literary Text. Urbana, IL: National Council of Teachers of English, 2002.
 This book offers classroom strategies to help students engage in authentic dialogue and inquiry about literature.
