Citizenship as Shared Inquiry: Literature Study and the Democratic Mind.
Muldoon, Phyllis A.
English Journal, v80 n7 p61-68 Nov 1991
Asserts that citizenship is actualized through curriculum and instruction that emphasize learning as a process of discovery rather than a transmittal of information. Describes how a presentation which involved a flag-burning stimulated shared inquiry. Offers a detailed method that uses chaos in the interpretation of literature to increase students' range of inquiry. (PRA)
