Wiggling - Examples
I have a lot of interesting information. Some information answers or helps to answer my essential question and guiding questions, but other pieces of information do not.
For example, I located information about the gendering and discipling of rural Wisconsin women. A lot of that information is interesting, but not all of it supports the answer to my questions. The information is too specific and concentrates on the sexuality of frontier women. I will toss some of this information.

I read a lot of journal articles that I would not have read if I wasn't interested in pursuing this inquiry topic. Barbara K. Stripling stated, "Students get motivated to read and comprehend challenging text when they are trying to answer an intriguing question and they need information to do so." (9) Getting students to read nonfiction text is sometimes like pulling teeth. I think that an inquiry-based curriculum is the answer to motivating students to read challenging informational texts.
