TitleUsing the I-Search to Promote Student Investigation (Heritage Learners)
Body
From http://nclrc.org/about_teaching/heritage_learners.html

The I-search requires rigorous foot-noting and crediting of sources, with the advantage that each teacher’s requirements can be adjusted to demand more or less academic reading. The crux of the process is that students identify real questions that matter to them. Students express these in terms of problems to solve; the instructions direct them specifically to questions words like how, which or why. This method allows the instructor to combine the motivational power of affect with some real student research, and even some expansion into a more academic mode of discourse.
