The wondering phase of the 8 W's model relates to questioning. According to Daniel Callison, this part of inquiry involves the natural curiousity of humans. Common questions are the 5 w's: who, what, when, where and why and also how. Callison believes the why question is the most difficult question of all. I have many questions about the game of chess going around in my mind. I am curious about so many things such as:
- What are all the pieces and where do their names come from?
- What moves are allowed by each piece?
- What constitutes a good move or a bad move?
- Who invented this game?
- Is this game reflective of one culture or many?
- How large in the chess tournament circuit?
- Does it have many age groups?
If I am able to answer these questions effectively, I hope to be an effective sponsor for my chess club. I really want to be able to answer technical questions for the game and be able to teach the students strategies for the game.
Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteGreat topic and great chess application I find myself tuning in just too try the puzzle. I love this game and am sure that you will develop an equal passion as you learn more about it. I created a brief pathfinder at one point for another SLIS course on chess for kids, you can find it here, http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ddsrfcvq_0zcv6cddd, if you are interested. I hope that it is a little help to you in your quest.

I cannot wait to hear where in the heck they got the silly names for the pieces. I mean come on, seriously now. It has to be something religious based. Like most things in history are named after.
