(1V) What is Inquiry?

Inquiry: a seeking or request for truth, information, or knowledge.

I define inquiry as a way of observing information, such as facts, opinions, predictions, etc. Inquiry is kind of like a language to us. Us humans tend to wonder about a lot of things that life brings us. And in order to get our questions answered we need lots of information and knowledge. Inquiry is actually involved in our lives everyday. We use inquiry when we are making decisions, asking questions, and gathering information.

When I first got my schedule and saw that one of my classes was "Inquiry" I wasn't quite sure what I would be learning in the class. Then after realizing that all of the freshman were in a Inquiry class I assumed that it was a pretty important class. After having my first inquiry class I learned that inquiry is a meaningful class because it is part of our lives. As I said earlier, Inquiry is part of our everyday lives so I am excited to learn more about it! 

New Vocabulary:

Responsibility: the ability or authority to act or decide on one's own, without supervision

Now that I am a college student I have to make choices on my own. For example when I have a lot of work to do I am going to have to manage my time well and not procrastinate.

Point of View: a particular attitude or way of considering a matter.

In my media class we are looking at different advertisements and discussing them in class. We talk about each advertisement from our own point of view.
