In this interactive session, participants will engage in activities that use student-generated questions about visual images as entry points to research literary criticism of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. The presenters collaborated on a student-centered, inquiry-based information literacy lesson (IL) focused on visual literacy, critical thinking, and research question design in an introductory literary analysis course. The co-instructors decentralized the classroom by empowering students to ask probing questions about illustrations from an early 20th-Century edition of Hamlet. Workshop participants will experience the presenters’ lesson firsthand by using the Right Question Institute’s Question Formulation Technique (QFT) as a springboard to research question development, keyword generation, and library resource exploration. Through facilitated activities and discussions, participants will learn about instructional strategies that inspire students to follow their own research interests, enabling them to direct class discussions and determine lesson outcomes. Finally, participants will reflect upon how such strategies could be applied in their own library and classroom contexts.
