Canadian History Semester Inquiry Booklet:Welcome to the inquiry process!! This is where you get some freedom in this course. What do you want to investigate? I have been asking you to think of a topic over the last little while. Now it is time to "dive" into it.Before you can investigate/dive, you have to have a topic to guide you through your discovery/process. From the time you were little, you were very inquisitive, always asking questions. However, unfortunately, as some point, some of you stopped asking questions. For some of you, you began asking the question - "what do I need to know in order to pass?" I'm hoping to break that cycle here. What do you want to know? What are you curious about? What do you want to know more about? Make it interesting and personal!Inquiry Topic IdeasIndigenous TopicsTraditional Worldviews Ex.

If you wish to discuss a topic with me feel free to do so!ResearchThis is a very important question to consider as you embark on your inquiry journey. There is so much information out there that figuring out where to start and what sources to use can be both confusing and frustrating. With that in mind, allow me to offer a few tips.Start simple – published secondary sources, such as textbooks and encyclopedias are your best starting point to obtain information. These sources stick to the basic facts, are not too detailed, and are largely reliable sources of information.Internet research – Internet research is delicate because there are some many pages that are unsourced, unauthored, and therefore unreliable. Here are traits you should be looking for when researching the internetPages that end in edu or org. This means the page has been produced by either and educational institute or a recognized organization. These are the pages you want to findRecognizable sponsors, like the government of Canada, or mainstream news sources that contain ACTUAL AUTHORS.Academic Journals – when you search try adding the tag Academic Journals to your topic and see what comes up WIKIPEDIA should not be a primary source of information; however, it can be a good starting place to understand your topic a bit betterIN GENERAL, IF THE PAGE LOOKS UNPROFESSIONAL, HAS NO AUTHOR, AND DOES NOT END IN EDU OR ORG YOU SHOULD STAY AWAY!!Use videos – National Film Board is good. There is also lots of good stuff posted on You Tube, however, please use the same precautions listed under internet researchGo to the library and find books. I know.... mind blowing right?!Calling or emailing an expertFollowing someone on TwitterVisiting a Museum - St. Boniface, Human Rights, Manitoba, etc..Cornell Note Taking FramesWhen gathering your research, use the Cornell Note Taking Frames. This is a great way to figure out where your research came from, as well as quickly search your notes. As you start looking at a new source - read through it first - is it usable -does it answer anything that you need answered? If no, move on! If yes, go to your Cornell Note Taking Frame and get down the source information - author, title, url, date. Start taking note of what's in the source under "the key ideas". You may just copy and paste these ideas. Once you have finished, go back and index your notes - under key words - one word to describe the point that you have written/copied. In the summary box, write down the perspective of the source, as well as any lasting impressions that you had after reading it.Pro Tip: Try to stay away from sources that are “unknown”. If you are trying to convince someone you would want to use an author’s name, rather than saying “According to an unknown source….”. Pro Tip: If you are taking less than 5 points from a source – you should probably find another source, that has more to offer.Reminder, Minimum of 5 sources, 1 must be a Primary source document which you must discuss the bias in the source.
