Ideas for inquiry

I can't stop thinking about my line of inquiry! I keep gaining new ideas in the middle of teaching or in meetings! I guess once you have allowed your mind to be aware and open to certain topics you can't help but pick up on examples all around. Something I didn't mention in my previous blog is my intrigue into drama therapy. I have always loved phycology and would definitely have studied it had I not gone down the musical theatre route. I actually looked into a drama therapy course a few years ago. I have been looking at other peoples blogs and found a great quote from Skype session with Adesola:

 ‘Your Inquiry is not focusing on confirming a question but identifying a topic or idea that will be useful to you now and in years to come’ 

This has really helped me focus on what I want to get out of this inquiry. I have come up with two questions in my notebook today: 

'Why is using creative drama so effective for social and behavioural issues within children?'

'How can drama help high achieving children with the pressures and fear of failure?' 

These subjects really interest me and I feel I have a lot of areas to research within these topics. Plus I have contacts in the professional world that could really benefit my inquiry. 
Now to decide which one to do!
