 Session
3: Inquiry: Rudolfo Anaya Jorge Arredondo integrates
inquiry into his classroom by encouraging students to formulate and pursue
personal questions about Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima. Arredondo
stimulates questioning, discussion, and research by taking the class to
see a mural -- created during the same era in which the book was written
-- that depicts struggles by Mexican Americans.
Session 3: Inquiry: James Baldwin
Bo Wu uses an inquiry approach to help students understand
three works by James Baldwin. Sparked by their personal interests, the
students research topics related to these works and collaborate to produce
group Web sites.
