- Key Words in Instruction. Sift and Sort: The Answers Are in the Questions! Kramer, Kym Largent, Connie Librarians School Libraries Library Services Library Role Inquiry Questioning Techniques Elementary Schools Teacher Collaboration Elementary School Teachers Providing time and guidance to students as they "sift and sort" background information on a potential inquiry topic is important at any level of investigation, from grade school to graduate school. As the inquiring student moves through new information, discusses ideas with teachers and peers and, most of all, has time to reflect on the initial set of inquiry questions, the original questions begin to turn and new questions appear. Guidance from the library media specialist and the classroom teacher should concentrate on assisting inquiry by providing tools, examples, and encouragement to the student to sift and sort new thoughts and insights--to manage reflection. This process often will include a recurring cycle of Question--Organize--Categorize (QOC). In this article, the authors, an elementary teacher and a library media specialist, utilize a "travelogue" format to describe their collaboration on a QOC method for elementary school students.
