Comparing Inquiry Questions (11B)


11B

Reading through the blogs and searching for strong inquiry questions I looked for fact-based inquiry questions. I looked to see in the question why, why important, how apply, what does it show and what does it mean. I also looked to see how the questions evaluated the readings, how the person making the question put the question into their own words, analyzed and broke down the reading into one question and synthesized the readings. Two great examples are

1) How does the creative industry hold people of creative nature ransom to their own self-image?

-       People of creative nature are held ransom because of fear of not being creative enough to please everyone.  Most jobs lack creativity.  People learn to live without the need to be creative. So for jobs that require creativity, there is a lot more pressure on these creative people. These people become less willing to put their ideas out there because they don't want to be criticized or rejected.  The pressure of coming up with the best idea keeps creative people from coming up with an already great idea. I found it interesting that the author states everything has become a split second decision, which is very true for today’s world. The author in the article that is not identified emphasizes that creativity is lacked in a job environment


Learning how to make a good inquiry question I believe is very helpful. It will help me better understand the readings for this class and for other readings for my other classes. While studying I will now make great questions for myself to help myself study. I will use this technique to make questions that would be seen on a test or quiz to help better prepare myself for the upcoming assignments to help improve my grade.
