This being a living inquiry, the best place to start it is wherever one finds oneself existentially. One looks inwardly into one’s own thoughts and feelings, while facing the world, noting how one reacts with conditioned thoughts and feeling responses. Usually we are too busy reacting that we do not stop to reflect and examine our response. Inquiry starts at this point of stop. From this place of stop, we question the necessity of “the way things are,” and address the possibility of seeing the world and the self differently and hence relating to the world differently. “What if I were to…?”

Description: This assignment allows each student to experience the inquiry planning and implementation process. The purpose of this project is to “question the necessity of “the way things are,” [both in the way we teach in schools and in how we interpret the larger world] and address the possibility of seeing the world and the self differently, and hence relating to the world differently. We imagine otherwise possibilities when we ask, “What if I were to…?”” (Heesoon Bai, 2005, p. 47). The project will follow the Inquiry Cycle phases of Ask, Investigate, Create, Discuss and Reflect. Each Phase will have a unique page on your website.
