What is an "I-Search Paper"?

One of the funnest, yet most productive ways to write is by doing an "I Search". By way of increased freedom over content and subject matter,the I Search lets the author choose how to present and write their paper. It usually involves first-hand research of whatever topic the author--you--chooses. Also, the I Search lets you write in the first-person.
For example, I did one of these on rock climbing. I conducted first-hand research and presented my findings in a formal manner; yet, it was fun because I was allowed to tell a story. The fundamental goal of the I Search is to get the writer to build on the more basic elements of good writing: grammar, presentation, story-telling, and research. But it does not dwell on the formalities that many other forms of writing, such as the formal research paper,do.
