Teachers can plan the questions to be answered but the students can also be given the option to do so. Students could use the framework of questions designed by the teachers. This indicate the information that they should look for.

Students should acquire five inquiry skills in order to do an outstanding project. 1. Ask geographic questions. 2. Acquire information 3. Organize information 4. Analyze geographic information 5.Answer Social Studies questions
