Critical Reading Book Club Series: Episode 4, Informed Inquiry

How can we turn student curiosity into meaningful inquiry? In 5 Questions for Any Text , educator and author Marilyn Pryle shares a practical framework to help students read more critically in today's media-saturated world. In the final episode of this four-part series, we explore how asking the right questions can lead students to deeper understanding and more thoughtful engagement with texts. You'll hear how students investigate topics like global data privacy and the science behind alchemy using background knowledge, credible sources, and critical thinking to explore these complex ideas. Marilyn guides these inquiries by encouraging research, inference, and reflection, helping students connect their questions to broader issues in the world and in literature.
