Developing Great Inquiry Questions

Today you will watch the "Wavin' Flag" video again.  Then you will listen to the story about "Wavin' Flag".  As you watch and listen to both, write down any questions that may develop in your head.  Any question at all.  Remember these are your questions, so all questions are good questions at this stage of research and inquiry.  
After the story is finished, go back and look at your questions.  Put a star beside 2 or 3 questions that you would like to research.  This is where you will evaluate your questions.  
Are they questions that you COULD find the answer?  Are they APPROPRIATE?  Are they questions that were NOT answered in the book or video?  Are they about K'Naan, Haiti or Somolia?  
When you are done and your name is on your paper, hand them in.  Next period, you will try to find the answer to your questions by using appropriate data bases, websites and books.
