For step 2 in my inquiry, I will be seeking information on my topic. According to the InfoZone site, seeking is, "locating and accessing resources." I'm going to focus on electronic resources for this exercise.
The webpage lists many kid friendly search options, but because of the fact that this is an archived page, many of the links are for dated or so-so web sites. The links, but they were created in 2004 so it's no surprise that ten years later, the internet has much more to offer. If I were teaching this lesson with students, I would suggest the resources from the homepage of the online catalog for the school library where I work. The media specialist has put together a lot of great research choices for our Fox Hill Pioneers. If you want to check them out, go here:

For this exercise, I'm going to use Google because there are many news stories and images to choose from there. In my next post, I'll talk about choosing good resources and I'll post some links and pictures related to my topic, the huge blackout that left 50 million people in the northeastern United States in the dark in 2003.
Here's the link to the InfoZone page with the inquiry process I'm using, again.
