The first thing you need to do for this
I-Search
is to think of a question.
This isn’t as simple as you might imagine.
 | Some questions are too broad (What
is the universe?) |
 | Some are too difficult or
complicated for a single
I-Search paper (Was Einstein correct about the theory of relativity?) |
 | Some are too easy (How many students
are there at ASIJ?) |
You need a topic that
 | Interests you greatly |
 | Will interest other people who read
your paper |
 | Will present a bit of challenge
..but |
 | Is something you can answer if you
look hard enough. |
 | Is personal- something that will
effect your own decisions in life |
First find something you’ve wanted to know
more about……
 | Perfectionism - because you are having
trouble meeting
your deadlines |
 | A career- because you wonder if
your dreams can
become a reality |
 | Sleep – because you can't seem to
get enough and
you want to know why |
Then think about it for a while.
Narrow your search to something you can really
work on, but
make sure that there are enough resources on your topic for you
to do a good job.
