contents Making the Writing and Research Connection with the I-Search Process: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Teachers and Librarians. How-To-Do-It Manuals for Librarians Number 62. Joyce, Marilyn Z. Tallman, Julie I. Critical Thinking Expository Writing High School Students High Schools Information Retrieval Library Skills Research Papers (Students) Research Skills Student Interests Student Research Technical Writing Writing Skills Describing the "I-Search" as an approach to research that uses the power of student interests, builds a personal understanding of the research process, and encourages stronger student writing, this manual puts forward the I-Search process as the best tool which exists for connecting students effectively to the research process. The manual aims to "spread the word" about the I-Search and how to teach it. The manual can serve as a guide through the steps that have been developed in adapting the process (originally elaborated for freshman composition students) to the K-12 level. Noting that many of the steps in this I-Search adaptation derive from a qualitative research study set up to investigate the results of a high school I-Search unit, the manual reports that this research evidenced significant improvement in student research and writing abilities. Following a preface, chapters in the manual are, as follows: (1) Writing/Research Connections; (2) What Is the I-Search Paper?; (3) Starting the Process; (4) Narrowing the Topic; (5) Using Information; (6) Presentation and Assessment of Process and Product; (7) I-Search Management Strategies; (8) Inservice Training; (9) Connections to Information Literacy; and (10) Summary. Appendixes include material on collaboration through conferencing; reading textbooks and articles using SQ3R; and sample student papers. An annotated bibliography concludes the manual. (NKA)
