Dear Malcolm, The process that I followed through this inquiry project has been a new experience for

me. Though I wrote a long, detailed, and decent research paper in high school on a topic that interested me greatly, it was constructed very differently from project I have just about completed. I think the most significant and obvious difference is considered it an Inquiry Project; implying the project is full of questions. This is contrary to the assumptions I made about research papers; they are useless unless they are full an answers. Personally the way in which the project was generally addressed, was and is refreshing. It is conducive to my learning style; I like to question everything and ponder the possible solutions, excited when I find the answer and typically eager to share. So, in a sense, I experience an abbreviated version of this writing process every day. For me, correlating my daily life to academia is the way I learn and retain most efficiently. As I may have already manifested, I enjoyed the actual inquiry part of the inquiry sequence most. I occasionally was frustrated when I thought an answer to my question could be cut and dry, yet I struggled to even find a believable answer. Though I understand everyone faced similar situations, I think my frustrations stemmed from the topic being rather minimally explored and documented. However, I must add, its on the rise. I enjoyed the option of an alternate format, of which, I chose a website and another sort of interactive presentation (prezi). It reflected the essence of my project: exploratory. On my website, Fire Service and Social Media, I think Im most proud of the interviews because they represent time spent and the research that preceded them to construct the sets of questions. In addition, it reflects the inquiry sequence as a compilation of important questions, which are given answers in turn for the time spent making them. I think those in the fire service (whom I hope will be a part of my audience) will gain respect for the project when they read the interviews because they can respect views of their peers (the firemen I interviewed). Though I am still striving to improve the organization of the site not only on the individual pages, but also between the pages, so that the viewer will not be distracted form my main point. Sincerely,

Marlena McCall
