Initial+Research+Topic

The Initial Research Topic (IRT) is "a fast and furious way to to unpack the essential nature of research. It is an opportunity to dig deep into a randomly-assigned topic and present the most interesting or important aspect that you uncover through your own unique analysis." //(from the SYP website)//

 My IRT Topic was **THE CHUPACABRA** (The Goat Sucker) ﻿Below, you'll find my six-slide powerpoint on the Chupacabra along with notes for my presentation. Even further below that you'll find my IRT-2 (My presentation consolidated into just 3 slides.) My research focused on eyewitness accounts and supposed discoveries of this cryptid. I asked, "Why does it seem impossible for the mystery surrounding the existence of the Chupacabra be solved once and for all?"
