Prompt: 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.

 Me and my group have checked up on each other's work and held each other accountable in order to ensure that everyone is contributing. We all trust each other's capability to carry our own weight. We tend to divide responsibilities in a fair and even way, that way everyone is putting in the same effort. Summary: We worked on our research project. Reflection: I bettered my research skills.

Prompt: What challenges did your group face while selecting and analyzing sources, and how did you overcome them? Be specific about how your group communicated and worked through disagreements.

 While my group was selecting and analyzing sources, we had trouble choosing whose source we are going to use. This required us to look deep into each individual source to find the best fit. Everyone in my group read each other's sources and decided which are best. Summary: Today we worked on our research project. Reflection: I bettered my researching skills.

Prompt: 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.

 The most compelling issue connected to my research topic is that there are so many different perspectives on parenting. This can be good but also bad, because there are a lot of mixed opinions. This can help my info because it requires me to look deep for correct, detailed information. Summary: Today we worked on our research project. Reflection: I bettered my research skills.

Prompt: How has completing the annotated bibliography changed or clarified your understanding of your research topic? Discuss how your sources connect to one another and how they are shaping your argument moving forward.

 Completing the annotated bibliography clarified my understanding of my research topic because it showed me many different views on parenting and how they can be wrong and write. My sources connect because they all sharpen each others info as they compare and contrast. Summary: I worked on my annotated bibliography. Reflection: I bettered my research skills.

Prompt: Which part of the annotated bibliography (summary, reflection, or evaluation) was the most challenging for you, and why? Explain how that challenge helped you grow as a researcher and how it will help you when writing your research paper.

 The most challenging part of the annotated bibliography was summarizing the documents. This was difficult because there was a lot of info to pack in. This challenge helped me grow as a reader in learner because it helped me overcome something I thought was difficult. Summary: We worked on our Annotated bibliography. Reflection: I bettered my research skills.

Prompt: As you gathered sources, you were expected to find multiple perspectives on your topic. What differences did you notice between your sources? Explain how these differences helped you better understand the complexity of your issue.

Throughout my research, I have noticed that all sources that I have found have a different approach and perspective towards parenting. This helps my research greatly because I can shape my argument better. However, this also makes it more difficult to establish an argument. Summary: Today we researched on Galileo. Reflection: I bettered my research skills.

Prompt: Think about your experience using GALILEO to find sources. How was this different from how you have searched for information in the past? Explain how using specific search strategies and evaluating sources impacted the quality of what you found.

 Using Galileo to find sources is much different than research I've done in the past. Usually, I just look up information on Google and look through different websites. However, with Galileo I am looking through document of many different kinds and can even search for a specific type of source. While Galileo does make some things easier it can also make things harder as I find it harder to search. Summary: Today we researched on Galileo. Reflection: I bettered my research skills.
