Sit in grade level groups with others who are using your same basal reading program. Choose a unit from your basal. Together, use a large piece of butcher paper to create a poster reflecting how you will approach organizing the unit of inquiry. Begin by deciding on the big question for the unit. Looking at the reasons for organizing around units of inquiry, include in your poster:

 how you will bring in different content areas

 what vocabulary will be repeated naturally through the stories and activities

 how you can differentiate instruction

 how you will connect the readings and activities to your students’ lives

As you create your poster, you may want to use the graphic organizer that follows (Figure 1.2). Modify it to fit the categories you want to include.
