In Haiti they had suffered a terrible earthquake on January.12, 2010. Millions were left homeless and without family members. Millions died and thousands were trapped under the rubble, still alive and in need. They set up tents and stayed in their dying, they were scared of being inside or near a building. They didn't have a lot of medical care there, and they couldn't send people to America by plane. People in helicopters dropped water and food around the area. The doctors used vodka to clean the wounds on the people. Their are still in need and are depressed. People raised money all over the world to help Haiti. This wasn't their first earthquake, they had many tragedies before and got past it, but this was much worse and this would take many years to regain everything they had. All they have left now is their hope and culture. The orphans place was packed because children couldn't find or lost their families, some were adopted in America, but only the children adults couldn't leave.
 * Part I--What I already know about my topic **

//Why in Haiti do they get earthquakes? Were the aftershocks as bad as the earthquake itself? How are the Haitians doing now? Are the doctors still working on patients? Are the people getting better or worse? Are people still dieing over there? Did workers get a chance to clean the streets and get the rubble away from the people and the area? Were their any recent aftershocks? Are the Haitians getting use to getting near buildings? If so would they start to build homes and buildings? Did some people get to leave to America from there to be with their families? How are the orphans and children doing? Why haven't we had any updates on how things are going in Haiti? Are people allowed to visit their families in America? // How are the orphans doing? Is their enough food and water after all the money they raised through the telethon?

You will continue to play Urgent Evoke or Ayiti: The Cost of Life and possibly other games related to global issues. You will write on a daily basis reporting as you investigate your topic. This is not a report about what you found; it is the story of your journey and in that story you will share what you found and your point of view about what you found. Not only do you write about what others have said about your topic, you also add your opinion of their perspectives. It is important to comment on what kind of experience you're having along the way. Yes! The "I" in I-Searcheans that you must write in the first person, and you must be an interactive, reactive participant in the I-Search writing process. This part of the paper is the longest. // Today I consulted a newspaper article online it was called Despair Deepens on Devastated Haitian Street. I found this on the new york times website it was really interesting. I learned about things about the earthquake that the news on television didn't cover. A saw hundreds of pictures of how the Haitians were suffering a lot these past //Here is where you summarize the most important things you learned about your topic, about yourself as an investigator, and about the process itself. //
