__ Negotiated Inquiry Planner __ I've concluded some units really successfully by allowing students to extend their learning in an area of negotiated personal inquiry. If you've never done this before it can be a little daunting, so I've posted a planner that is available for you to use with your students. I have also inlcuded a sample planner that has been completed.**
