Silk - Research Method :: essays research papers

Do you know the process that goes into making silk? Many people over look this fine, luxurious garment. When I first heard that we had to do an I-search, I was overwhelmed by the choices. I made many changes before lowestly settling on this topic. When I first though of how to make silk, I didnt think that it would be that hard with the right tools. Although I knew that the fibers came from the silk worms cocoon I still didnt know how they got it unraveled. I also thought that they only made silk in china. There be many things that I didnt know close making silk. When I thought of doing this topic I didnt think that it would be to easy either. I thought that I would have to go to more than one source to get the answer.I have one main goal for writing this I-search. That is be beget it is an assignment. If I wanted to know about this topic I wouldnt spend this much time on it.In the begging I wanted to do the topic "Is biological weapons worth the destruction that they cause on the planet?". Then I thought to myself, "There isnt a really right answer because everyone will have a different P.O.V. at once I had to come up with a better question, on that has a true answer. Then I thought to myself again, "Do you know how monorails work?". I didnt answer myself because then I would be crazy. But the first book I looked in I found the answer, so I dropped that idea. My last and final I-search topic would be, "How is silk made?". I think that that answer may be fairly easy to find, but its a topic that interested me because my grandma has been to China and has seen that places where they (The Chinese) make the silk. She also showed me the cocoons that they take the thread from. On the first day that I started looking for the answer my English class went to the library. From there I straighten out the library for the answer. My first stop was an encyclopedia. The first random book that I pulled from the shelf was called Encyclopedia Am erica. That one wasnt much help. It only told me how silk worms are cultivated. That didnt bother me much, because I was confident that I would find the answer still.
