ABOUT THE STRATEGY The INQUIRY CHART (I-CHART) is a graphic organizer that allows students to gather information about a topic from several sources. Teachers design the I-chart around several questions about a topic. Students read or listen to several sources on the topic and record answers to the posed questions within the I-chart. Different answers from various perspectives can be explored as a class. It is used during and after reading texts. This strategy helps students integrate ideas from several sources. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STRATEGY  Establish the purpose of the I-Chart.  Provide students with a blank I-Chart and assist students with a topic selection or provide the pre-selected topic.  Engage students in forming questions about the topics. Place those questions at the top of each individual column.  Record any information students already know in the next row.  Record each source and the key ideas pulled from the sources in the rows.  Record any questions that you have about the information in the last column (e.g., something that is confusing, missing, or conflicting).
