How-to
To become information literate, students must be able to locate, evaluate, select, use, and share information effectively. Consequently, it is crucial for educators to introduce and reinforce these skills in stimulating and creative ways. The mini-inquiry projects in this program promote students’ information literacy skills through research and presentation.
After the mini-inquiry projects are completed, students should assess their work for content and presentation using the sample assessment form provided. You also might ask students to make formal presentations of their information to the class followed by a question-and-answer session, or to solicit a peer assessment.
You can find mini-inquiry projects in the Teach with Theater section on the home page. This will take you to a page with all of the mini-inquiry projects available on the site.
You can also find mini-inquiry projects on a play’s landing page or in the menu on the left side of a play page. If the play you’re working on has a project, it will be listed here.
