Abstract	Creativity is integral to the inquiry process. Inquiry-based work highlights students' understanding of the ways that literature and language mediate lived experiences and social relationships. Within the secondary English classroom, students and teachers can engage in collaborative and imaginative activities to read texts, ask questions, and construct their own critical and creative responses. This action research study was situated in a Year 11 English class in Sydney, Australia. Through an inquiry-based project, students analysed William Shakespeare's "Henry V" and Jack Davis's "The Dreamers" and considered historical contexts, themes, and values. Through producing their own creative work in response, students developed the five core dispositions that mark the creative process as they became inquisitive, persistent, imaginative, collaborative, and disciplined.
