 * 1) What was the project? (15 min)
 * 1) What is a inquiry based lesson? (15 min) (check out  Lesson Planning 5 and Lesson Planning 6 )
 * 1) You could go through one webquest with the teachers - or assign a few different web quests and have teachers as groups go through them and answer a sheet of questions (15 min):
 * what is the years that the web quest deals with?
 * what immigration population does the lesson refer to?
 * What are the primary sources?
 * What is the inquiry lesson?
 * What age group is the lesson intended for?
 * How could you tailor this lesson to your classes needs?
 * What aspects of this lesson would be good for your students to learn about?
 * What standards does this lesson meet?
 * Return to group to discuss the findings. (15 min)

Teachers share their experience. OR you could have them explore lessons and find a lesson that they could bring back to their classroom. Then have them come and share the lesson with the group. OR you could have the teachers experience what it would be like to complete a webquest completely.  Day 2 Professional Development
