At a brainstorming meeting teachers pooled ideas for templates to be included in a drop down menu to be developed for student use. It is envisaged that children undertaking pure inquiries will be able to access the menu for templates and examples to assist them. Stages will include definitions such as, "What is an essential/subsidiary question?" Templates and examples of graphic organizers will be accessible for children to copy. Information literacy's will feature in the scaffold e.g. What are key words? Templates for interviews, faxes etc. will be made available.
Children will be able to access and copy a web log to help track their discovering and processing stages. The assessment matrices will be available for student self assessment.
It is intended that students' knowledge and understanding of the inquiry process will deepen with the support the scaffold system will provide.
