Writing Section 1
At this point, you should begin working on the introduction section of your iSearch. This section, as well as the other two sections, will not be submitted until the end. However, you will be uploading this draft section into the discussion for next week, so make sure you complete it ASAP.

TOPIC
You will be researching how to solve ONE CURRENT PROBLEM in your future career.

What classes will you take to become an excellent critical thinker to address this issue? Are there student organizations you can join that see this problem as a new challenge or opportunity? What lessons can you learn from professors or experts on communicating about this issue? Can you complete your education at GSU, or will you move to another college to find creative ways to solve the root causes of this problem?

Make sure you are specific about your future career. Don’t say "I want to be a nurse" or "I want to be an engineer." You must state the specific type of nursing or engineering you plan to pursue. The more specific your focus, the easier your research will be.

This is the first section of your research project, the introduction to your project. Any time you are writing an introduction, you must grab the attention and the imagination of the reader. This is your opportunity to let the skills you have learned in "Show Don’t Tell" shine, and make an impact.

Remember, this section MUST stand alone as a paper. It must include an introduction, body, and conclusion.

You should creatively introduce your project, transition into a discussion of what you want to know, how you mean to find the information, and what you think you will find out when your project is complete (your hypothesis). Finally, include a short conclusion that completes the paper.

HAVE A PURPOSE IN MIND

Transition into a discussion of what your research is about. Tell what type of information you will include in your research, why that information is important to your topic, and what you hope to gain through this research (the purpose of your research).
