Abstract	This practical book provides teachers with step-by-step guidance for developing a class culture that welcomes curiosity and ignites social action. Student-driven inquiry has a lasting impact on learning, yet questions posed from students' own contexts rarely serve to shape their understanding of the outside world. The authors show teachers how to use literature to introduce characters and worlds that exist outside of their students' lived experiences. Through this exposure, students can develop questions that seek to build empathy for others, which ultimately positions young people to be change agents in their communities and in the larger world. This book translates ideas from theorists in critical literacy, student motivation, and culturally responsive pedagogy into practical approaches for the English language arts and social studies classroom (6-12). Each chapter poses questions designed to get teachers thinking about how to use mind-opening texts with students to address social problems. Book Features: (1) Shows teachers how to use literature to help students navigate a shifting world; (2) Equips students with the skills to advocate for themselves and others, including using digital tools in meaningful, effective ways; (3) Asks students to face controversial points-of-view head on and interrogate the world in which they live; (4) Includes examples of discussions that lead to projects and opportunities that allow youth to do work in the community; (5) Demonstrates how to move theory into practice, providing teachers with the rationale for using inquiry as disruption if questioned by stakeholders; and (6) Contains a scope and sequence that outlines an entire year devoted to inquiry, as well as how to break it down into individual units and lessons.
