Inquiry research is self-directed and project-based on the grade-level curriculum. Middle schoolers begin an area of inquiry research becoming a critical historian. Focusing on research writing involves reading and a digital search on Destiny Quest to find websites, read articles and learn from many different authors how to draw conclusions and make inferences. Students begin to theorize about their own research actively as they leave a footprint, a lasting impression on their own learning. This student engagement can lead to the possibility of creating life-long learning. Project Living History is collaborative transforming classrooms into museum exhibits bringing life to classroom teaching and student learning.
