Love the Questions: Reclaiming Research with Curiosity and Passion

Cathy Fraser believes that school research projects should be less of a chore and more like police investigations. In Love the Questions she describes ways to engage middle and secondary students from the outset, fanning the flames of their curiosity and passion.
 
Accessible and story-filled, this book provides strategies to capture the excitement of genuine inquiry in your classroom. Learn how to do the following:

• Honor students’ passions, interests, and specific questions
• Embrace inquiry, curiosity, and exploration
• Teach students to frame relevant questions throughout the research process
• Develop authentic projects that include surveys, experiments, and interviews
• Work with school librarians as educational partners for teachers and students
• Assess skills, not memorization

Cathy offers minilessons, practice activities, graphic organizers, and examples of student work to help you turn research projects into creative, exciting investigations for your students.
