Inquiry Process - ISIS-21

Plan: Review and Selecting Main Concepts

Working with your teammate, write down and review each of your Little Questions.

1. ____________________________________________________________________

2. ____________________________________________________________________

3. ____________________________________________________________________

4. ____________________________________________________________________

Review the Little Questions above. Highlight or circle the main concepts in each question. There should be about 2-3.

Plan: Keywords and Synonyms

Write down the keywords or key concepts in the spaces below. Next, brainstorm with your partner to come up with one Synonym for each of your keywords. Think about different ways of representing each of your concepts. For example, “Ads” is another word for “Advertisement”. Not all Keywords will have synonyms.

Question 1First Keyword: _____________________ Synonym: ____________________

Second Keyword: _____________________ Synonym: ____________________

Third Keyword: _____________________ Synonym: ____________________

A Keyword is an important word (or concept) in your question. A Keyword may also be a phrase, such as “persuasive argument”.

Synonyms are two different words that have the same meaning, like "big" and "large."

Sometimes related words can also be used. For example, "ape" can be used if you are looking for information about primates.
