A. Inquiry – Based Teaching
Learning through inquiry enables students to apply what they learn in school to real-world
situations. By relating these issues to real-life issues, students can rationalize how they can help with
these issues. They gain a better understanding of the issues. They can do this by writing research papers
or persuasive essays explaining why these issues are important or need to be addressed. Students don't
get as engaged on a regular paper that follows a set curriculum and covers only one subject, but they do
when a question is posed and they must find the answer, or when they can choose a topic themselves.
By relating it to what they have seen in the world, the students can get a deeper understanding of what
is being taught. Students can ask deeper questions, which helps them understand more and gain more
information, which may help them retain it.
B. Authentic – Writing Activity
The writing activity I will provide for the students will be a research paper. Currently, I am
studying biology for a degree in secondary education. The reason I chose this for my discipline is
because biology includes the study of living organisms such as animals, plants, bacteria, and organisms.
This helps students understand the way the environment affects the world and the living organisms that
inhabit it. There are many aspects to the study of biology, but I believe this helps them see how the
environment affects the world and the organisms that live here. In biology, pollution affects everything
on the planet, including living things, and pollution affects everything on the planet. It is because biology
encompasses so much that is on earth that I think this project is a good idea to find out how this is
affected. The topic of this paper will be pollution; the research paper will focus on how pollution affects
the earth. Whatever they come up with, students can use it to show how it impacts the world. Students
can research ways they can reduce pollution, such as organizations that work to curb pollution, and
other ways in which students can do so daily. Whether it's the impact on water, land, animals, or
