Summary: In this article, teachers are encouraged to provide students with opportunities to use rhetorical inquiry as a framework for writing. Henning considers the connection between critical thinking and ethics should not be defined in static terms but instead should be comprehended as a dynamic framework to examine inquiries, choices, and behaviors. Writing teachers recognize the need to critically evaluate the modes of information, resources, and writing because students find it difficult to engage in reading that involves critical thinking, flexibility, and rhetorical questions such as, "what if."
