The I-Search project allows you to do just that.
It gives you the opportunity to explore a topic in depth -- a topic of your own
choosing -- something about which you are truly passionate. It let's you
take charge of your learning. You get to decide what you
learn, the materials you will use, and how you will demonstrate what
you have learned. You are in the control seat.
As
you write your I-Search paper, you will learn how to research,
discover, and create a sophisticated product. You will take a
topic that captures your curiosity and hunt for facts and concepts
firsthand. You will follow the example of scholars and
organize
your thoughts using the elements of depth & complexity while
concurrently recording your process of discovery. Your
research will then become the framework for a web page, a video, an
experiment, a book, or some other display of scholarship.
