April 27 - Reflect on your research topic and identify the most compelling issue connected to it. Clearly explain what the issue is and discuss why you find it particularly interesting or important. Support your response with specific details from your research.

Prompt Response:  Our group overcame challenges in selecting and analyzing sources by focusing on clear communication and organized collaboration. When faced with information overload or disagreements about source quality, we used group chats and shared documents to discuss our reasoning and provide feedback. We streamlined the process by dividing the research based on individual reviews and evaluating each source against specific criteria like credibility and relevance. Through regular check-ins, compromise, and occasional guidance from our teacher, we ensured that we only used the strongest evidence, ultimately leading to a more successful and cohesive assignment. Summary: Today in class we picked the right sources. Reflection: Today I learned how to the proper sources for a research project.

April 30 - What strategies have you and your group used to ensure that all members are actively contributing to group assignments? Explain how you communicate, divide responsibilities, and hold each other accountable throughout the process.

Prompt Response:  To ensure every member contributes, we prioritize communication, clear roles, and accountability. We use a shared group chat or document to keep information centralized and avoid confusion. By assigning tasks based on individual strengths, we make the workload fair and efficient. To maintain momentum, we set small deadlines and conduct regular check-ins to monitor progress. We also clearly track who is responsible for each part of the assignment; if someone falls behind, we offer support and address the issue early to ensure the group’s collective success. Summary: Today in class we put our resources into a separate sheet and wrote our introduction. Reflection: Today I learned how to write an introduction for our sources.
