 I-Search Project 
An I-search project is designed to teach the writer and the audiencesomething valuable about a chosen topic and about the nature of searching and discovery. As opposed to the standard research paper in
 
which the writer usually assumes a detached and objective stance, theI-search paper allows you to take an active role in your search, to huntfor facts and truths firsthand, and to provide a step-by-step record of the discovery process.The cardinal rule of the I-search project is to choose a topic thatgenuinely interests you and that you need or would like to know moreabout. The I-search project should be presented in four sections:(1) What I know, assume, or imagine;(2) Why I want to know;(3) The search; and(4) What I discovered.
 What I know, assume, or imagine
.
Before conducting any formalresearch, write a section in which you explain to the reader what youthink you know, what you assume, or what you imagine about yourtopic. This section should be approximately 1-2 pages. 
Why I want to know.
This should be the heart of your work.Explain how this project is going to make a difference in your life.What personal interest prompted you to investigate this particulartopic. This section should be approximately 1-2 pages. 
The search.
 
Test your knowledge, assumptions, or conjectures byresearching your topic thoroughly. Consult useful books, magazines,newspapers, films, tapes, and other sources for information. Whenpossible, interview people who are authorities on or who are familiarwith your topic. Write your search in narrative form, recording thesteps of the discovery process. Do not feel obligated to tell everything,but highlight the happenings and facts you uncovered that were crucialto your hunt and contributed to your understanding of the topic.Document all your sources of information. Again, this section shouldbe about 1-2 pages.
 
 What I discovered.
 
After concluding your search, compare what youthought you knew, assumed, or imagined with what you actuallydiscovered; and offer personal commentary and draw someconclusions. It is difficult to place an approximate number of pages forthis section, but I would imagine it will be about 2-4 pages. 
The writing portion of this project should be written as a first-person narrative.Try to let the words flow onto the page in a story-telling voice relating the steps of 
 your own experience.
The complete paper should be about 6-10 pages typed, double-spaced,12-point font.The written paper is the first part of the project. The second part is to then takeyour experience and turn it into a Powerpoint or video presentation to share with the restof the class. Do not worry if you are unfamiliar with Powerpoint, we will spend sufficienttime in the media center learning how to use this program. We will also have time inclass for both researching our topics and creating our slides. However, you willdefinitely need to spend time outside of class working on your presentation in order tocreate something special – please plan accordingly
Project Requirements
You should have a
minimum
of 15 slides with
quality
information on each slide,
plusa bibliography.
Please feel free to include more slides in addition to your 15 slides. Inorder to earn an “A” on this project I will be looking for:
Clear research question that has not already been answered in asingle source.
 
Evidence that this project was a genuine learning experience forthe creator, and a person would benefit greatly from viewing yourwork. Evidence of critical thinking and unique insight into the topicpresented.
