This teaching resource is a fantastic template that can be used in a large variety of ways. Inquiry learning has become a large part of integrated topical learning and can be difficult to support, making it difficult for students to feel supported in making their own learning choices.

This template can be used to direct work with your chosen class unit or as a useful tool for fully negotiated, flipped learning styles to empower students to say what they would like to learn. Digital Citizenship and good research practise can be a difficult skill for students to maintain. This template gives students a place to document their research and helps them avoid common pitfalls, such as plagiarism and distracting sources that do not contribute to their final presentation.
