I've spent quite a bit of my time lately reflecting on information inquiry as a whole and how I've used it in my classroom in the past, especially the changes I need to make. I'll talk about that in another post. But, I did finally finish my Webbing, I hope. I located a few more great sources and narrowed and modified my questions down to just three:
1. What does is mean if something is organic?
2. Why is it important to consume organic products?
3. How do I begin to incorporate organics into my life?
Though I feel like I narrowed my questions, during my search for information I felt like I broadened my net. I wanted broad, basic information which gave me quite a bit of information to choose from. So, I focused my search on quality (fact checked, reliable) sites with information applicable to everyone. I found really great information just using the search engine Bing. If I had wanted more specific information on a certain part of organic farming or a certain food, I would have turned to the databases. I've already begun my Wiggling and Weaving and it's making my head hurt. Hopefully, I can reflect on that soon!

Oops! I forgot to include the sources I decided on. One of them is a forum for those interested in organics and living green.
