I-Search+by+Reda

by Reda I don't know too much but I know the overall process of global warming. The sun's uva's are weakened by the ozone layer and that helps the Earth maintain a cool temperature is cool regions, etc. I know that the ozone layer is damaged and so uva's are heating the polar ice caps in Antarctica. I also know a bunch of protocols are being taken to help prevent further damage such as the Koyto protocol.

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

I want to know the scientific process word for word and know what is doing what and what is its effect. I want to know more protocols. I want to know how people feel about the subject and I want to know how people like me can help. I want to know how global warming affects Antarctica and how Antarctica affects the world. April 21,2010 I have my research sources pretty done. I have a great book and 3 great internet sources. My book is called "//An// //Inconvenient Truth"// by Al Gore. It is a book that describes all the main things about my topic. It talks about Global Warming, Antarctica being affected, the Earth being affected, and how we can help. I like this book because it uses regular and not too complex terminology, has great diagram and pictures, and is pretty up to date compared to most books on my topic. Al Gore uses phrases to help express his main idea. For example, the title of a chapter is, "Denial ain't just a river". I laughed when I saw this. In addition to my great book I have three internet sources that I also like. I picked them each because they each have unique qualities I need for this topic. One source explains Global Warming. Another explains its impact. The final has good graphs. The explanation of Global Warming is for the background info of my I-Search, the impact it has is for my body and main point and the graphs are for my evidence. So far so good. I need some sources to help me make this issue into a game. I want to find what kind of game it should be and how to prepare for that. I think I need one or two more books and a few other sources. I might make a group with other people who share my topic to find what good sources and books they found. Or even what game genre. I have some work to do now so I will leave till' next time. Reda out!  Reda Lamniji (0__0)__ April 22,2010 I found a new sorce for my topic. It is a ny times article about evidence. I am lacking this in my reasearch and now I have it. I am pretty set now. In my evidence I have graph and now I have proof. I can proceed and now look for an expert to interview. Reda Out! Reda Lamniji (O_O)
 * Part II--What I Want to Find Out **
 * Part III--The Search **

April 27,2010 I decided to take the next step in my I-Search. At first I thought it was the interview but now I think it is another source for my reasearch. I need to start thinking about making this into a game. I have been thinking of this as a report or something but, it is a game and so, I need help on that. So I found a game to help me. It is called Planet Green and it is about making the planet greener. I like this type of game but I am more competitive and want to make a game where you go head-to-head with someone. I will continue to find game types. Reda out! Reda Lamniji (O_O) May 19,2010 I haven't had the interview yet but I am planning to soon. I will interview the biology teacher at my school. I will ask him what his opinion on Global Warming is and what he would look for in a game on Global Warming. I will toss in monitor for meaning questions. This is my last entry so I guess I will tell you my progress. I am making a game mod of chess and I will make the board and pieces. I will have fun. I learned a lot about my topic. I know the process of Global Warming. I can answer my big question. Global Warming is melting ice caps in Antarctica and if all the ice melts the world will get flooded. I also learned about myself as an investigator. I can find information well and log my experience as well. I thought I would procrastinate but I didn't. I feel proud. the I-Search process helped me aqquire data to put in my game. This is one of my sources of information for my game. I thought this would be for a writing assignment. Good-bye I-Search!
