Abstract
The authors describe the steps a group of eighth grade English language arts teachers and their school librarian took in planning, developing, and implementing an award-winning Guided Inquiry Design® unit at Shawnee Middle School on the topic of the Tulsa Oklahoma Race Massacre of 1921 (Oklahoma 2001). The professional development undertaken for the teaching team is described. The resources identified for use and software support tools are outlined. The actions taken throughout each phase of the inquiry unit are delineated. The authors discuss challenges the teaching team faced during the process as well as future plans.
