5. Inquiry Statement

Students should be asked to formulate an inquiry statement, whether in groups or individually, in order to inform the direction in which their investigation will progress.  The inquiry statement is arrived at through combining the inquiry focus and the final product statement.  An example of an inquiry statement might be:

1. We will produce a video documentary on the processing and preparation of our national dish.

2. I intend to discover whether my regional dish is more or less nutritious than that of another region and present my findings in a written report.
