Choosing a Topic Something that really interests you! Something that you know very little about Something you once saw in a movie or on TV? Something a friend told you about? Something that sounds too unreal to be true?

Choosing a Topic It is crucial that you choose a topic about which you know nothing or just little. The first I-Search assignment hinges on your relative ignorance about the topic.

Opposing Viewpoints You can use this LMC database to brainstorm topic ideas. The sources are already organized according to “pro” and “con.”

Mode The I-Search paper is not an informational “report.” It will be written in the persuasive mode. You will be asked to defend a thesis position. Concepts to avoid: Biography of . . . (just information) History of . . . (just information) Future of . . . (pure speculation) Impact of . . . (too broad to quantify)
