Write a research paper topic is How are high technology devices affecting students ability to focus.
Part I--What I Already Know About My Topic
Here is where you write at least one or two paragraphs (or longer as you study your motives), discussing what knowledge, experience, or background you already have about your topic, BEFORE having done any research on it.
Part II--What I Want to Find Out
You put down one or two paragraphs' (or more) worth of questions about your topic, questions you want badly, even desperately, to have answered. These questions will lead you to those sources that will answer your questions. These questions are the passionate, fiery fuel that guide you through the morass of library work, interviews, lengthy bus rides or freeways drives, etc. You may use "I" and your opinion.

Part III--The Search
You'll read at least 5 magazine/journal articles and 2 books (chapters OK). This is, in essence, the body of your paper. Not only do you report on what others have said about your topic, you must document that carefully using MLA style. The "I" in I-Search means that you must write in the first person, and you must be an interactive, reactive participant in the I-Search writing process. This part of the paper is the bulk of your paper and should be the longest. There are no length limits, but you should have a minimum of 6 pages. Every paragraph in
Part III needs at least one citation. You can NOT use your opinion in this section.
Part IV--What I Learned
This is where you reflect upon the entire search experience, not only what you got out of it and not only what you've learned (outside of the research), but how this search has changed your life. It can be as short as one to two paragraphs in length or as long as you feel you need, and summarizes your quest for the holy grail of knowledge on a topic with which you were nearly consumed. Don't repeat information from
Part V.
