Phase 1- Your Questions: Example:
 * What "burning" questions do you have? Which question "burns" the most right now? Which do you feel most passionate about? Why is this important to you? What do you already know/understand/think about it? What do you want to know? What are the specific inquiry questions that you want to answer? What is your essential inquiry question?
 * How does texting affect me? Are there negative effects? Positive effects? How does texting impact my life? What are ways that I already know texting affects me? Why do I care about how texting affects me?

Phase 2 - Your Search Process: Example:
 * Develop your search plans, indentify the resources you will use.
 * What keywords will you use during your search? What questions will you ask? What human resources could you use? Who knows a lot about your inquiry topic?
 * Where can you find information about the effects of texting? What resources will you use? Who could you interview about texting? What questions you need to ask about texting?

Phase 3 - What You Have Learned: Example:
 * Follow your search plan and gather information; revise when necessary. Use your journal to document, summarize, analyze, synthesize your information. Make connections to your new knowledge.
 * What are you finding interesting? What are you learning? How does the information connect with what you already knew? What do you want to know more about?
 * Follow your research plan while recording in your journal--What are learning about how texting affects you? What new information about the effects of texting are you finding interesting? Why? How does this new information about texting connect with your prior knowledge? What else do you want to know about the effects of texting? Do you need to revise your plan? Do you need more/different resources?

Phase 4 - What This Means to You: Example:
 * Prepare your presentation to share your new knowledge (written paper, oral report, etc.)
 * What did your learn? How did your beliefs and/or understandings of your inquiry project change? Did they change? How will your new knowledge be useful youself and others? What have you learned, discovered, or realized about yourself during the process? How will you publish your new learning?
 * Finally, draft, revise, edit, and publish your findings. What did you learn about the effect of texting? How does texting impact your life? The lives of others? How have your original impressions, beliefs, and assumptions about texting changed? How is this information about the effects of texting useful to you? To others? What message do you take away from your research? How will you get the word out? How will you share your new knowledge? Who needs to know? Why?

Importance to life success:
 * In this day and age people are expected to be able to problem solve. Students are able to hone these skills beginning in grade school when students are trained how to use research and inquiry models in the classroom. I-search can be used with any problem and there are not many phases in the process. In other words, once the student is comfortable with this process they will be able to use it in all facets of life. **
