This multi-touch book is a compilation of the inquiry research that Grade 8 students at Westsyde Secondary School in Kamloops, B.C. did. Students in Grade 8 are “learning to learn.” They have been learning high school research skills and how to present their learning in an electronic book form.
Below in the table of contents you will see the students Inquiry questions and their chapters they wrote. We hope you enjoy reading and listening (some parts are multi-media content) to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
