These questions will lead you to those sources that will help you construct an answer to your questions. These questions are the passionate, fiery fuel that guide you through the reading, interviews, and internet work. // // Here is where you'll read 3 magazine and/or newspaper articles, consult 1 book, and do 1 or more interviews with experts. 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.
