wiki layout/design

Here's what I'm thinking for the wiki layout:

Title:
How to Implement Inquiry-based Teaching and Learning into the Basic Writing Classroom

Pages:

What is inquiry?
-Definition
-History
-Basic overview of major theories/theorists and claims*

Who uses inquiry?
-All disciplines, but point out that we'll focus on the composition classroom
-All grade-levels
-Student role
-Teacher role

Why use inquiry?
-Justification, rationale
-Some stats for how inquiry improves learning
-Use BSU FYWP competencies here (build confidence, engages learning, etc.)

How is inquiry used?
-Writing Activities*

Where can I find out more about inquiry?
-Bibliography
-Links (I'll probably link to James and Justin's wiki page here)

What other questions about inquiry still need to be answered?
-Further questions


* After reading James and Justin's combined wiki page (inquiry and theme-based courses), I think it would be a good idea to link our pages under activities AND background information. Active-learning is like a big umbrella and inquiry definitely falls under that.
