//Warning! this is a work-in-progress. When I remove this warning and all the other text in red, you can assume my work is finished and ready for assessment. // by Alannah Ireland is going through financial problems right now. Many people are out of a job.

 * Title **
 * Part I--What I already know about my topic **

How many people die/ commit suicide every year in Ireland because of depression caused by the ressesion? What is Ireland's population and how much has it gone down since the ressesion started? How many people have lost their jobs because of the ressesion? How do people survive with such a bad economy? How is the government doing? //Here is where you put down one or two paragraphs' worth of questions about your topic, questions that you want badly, even desperately, to have answered. 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. //
 * Part II--What I Want to Find Out **

// 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. Yes! The "I" in I-Search means 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. // //Here is where you summarize the most important things you learned about your topic, about yourself as an investigator, and about the process itself. //
