Review:  Remember many plural nouns in the Italian language are uncountable nouns in English and the single verb form must be used: For example:  Information is available at the dest.  Money is power.

Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) projects Inquiry-based learning, which is a learner-centred approach to promote independent learning for students, is perfect to include in methods of teaching any subject. In other words, the goal of IBL is to generate in students an active construction of meaning through: questioning, researching information, collecting data and reporting their findings. This way of promoting a higher order of thinking skills is really essential since most students are not stimulated to think but only learn certain information about subject matters by heart. They do not really understand the importance of thinking for themselves.
