inquiry research project at ubc
In my inquiry assignment, I researched how service-learning can be used in an English Language Arts class and developed a rationale for doing so. This research was very helpful for my practicum experience in which I assigned and facilitated a service-learning project in my English 9/10 Accelerated class. I was really glad that I had made inquiries into this area because it prepared me to explain my rationale behind this project and its relevance to the English PLO’s to my students, to their parents and to the administration at my school with ease and confidence.
Future Inquiries
Some areas that I would like to learn more about and explore in my future teaching are:
- Project-based learning (ideas for projects)
- Differentiated instruction
- Modifications and Adaptations for students with exceptionalities
- Teaching through inquiry
- EAL teaching ideas and activities/approaches and philosophies
- Curriculum around the world
