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.

 Challenges my group faces were trying to pick the best sources to analyze but everyone thought their sources were better so it caused a little confusion and irritation among us but in the end we’re able to pick the ones we all saw fit.  Summary: sources  Reflection: I like the sources my group members but they should have added my source about human relationships 

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.

 I think the most compelling issue about my topic is the effect social media has had on the younger generation. I find it interesting because I am apart of that younger generation that grew up with technology. And it’s shown that older generations tend to not rely on technology and have good attention spans while us younger generations do not.  Summary: Absent  Reflection: Absent 

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 made me understant my topic more by making it easy to explain my research topic and understanding how technology has its pros and cons. The sources like social media and attention span of teenagers related well together because social media is the reason for why young user of social media have a low attention span.  Summary: Annotated bibliography.   Reflection: Today I feel like I have gotten alot done with completing the bibliography. 

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 evalution is somewhat challenging for me becuase it seems like I have to think outside the box to prove why the source is trustworthy but so far I´ve done well evaluating the source, it has helped me grew to look more at source like who it is by, what the person does as a carrer or why they are trustworthy.  Summary:  Annotated Bibliography  Reflection: I´ve wrote 3 more annotated bibliography. 

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.

 The differences between the multiple perspectives  I found on my topic is Galilo specific pullings up each phrase I look for. This helped me realized that my rescarch can be research in many differernt way with lots of different perspectives.  Summary: Research  Reflection: The Image was hard to find. 

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.

 The difference between the information I have searched up in the past then using specific search strategies on GALILEO is I found more creditable sources then what I would have founded on the web it is also more direct and one topic then any other sources. GALILEO is more specific when it comes to finding information to support ones work.  Summary: Reasrched our topic  Reflection: Galileo is a good website to search for information. 

Political cartoons often use exaggeration and symbolism to make a point, and they can also serve as important visual sources for analysis. What is being criticized in this image? What does this source suggest about the issue, and what does the cartoonist want the audience to question or reconsider?

This cartoon criticizes the use of foreign distractions to hide problems happening at home. The cartoonist wants the audience to question if leaders use news about overseas wars to make people ignore controversial domestic policies or the "beating" their own political party is taking. Summary: writeable  Reflection: Group discussion about USPS. 

Think about how you have searched for information in the past compared to what you practiced today. How is creating specific search phrases different from just “Googling” a topic? Explain how this strategy will improve the quality of your research.

  Googling" is like asking a librarian for "a book about animals." You’ll get a huge pile of books, but most of them won't be what you need. Creating  specific search phrases  is like asking for "a book about how desert foxes stay cool." Summary: common lit  Reflection: movies create a perfect life of the world 

Your research question is designed to explore a complex issue. What makes this topic difficult to answer or solve? Identify at least two different perspectives or factors related to your topic and explain why understanding multiple viewpoints is important.

This topic makes it diffcult to answer because I already have a fixed answer on how social media has impacted on human relationships, theres no right and wrong answer I could say about thsi topic, Im netural. Understanding that social media has brought people closer, and how social media has caused people to disconnect from real-world intereactions is important because it provided a positive and negative view on social media.  Summary: Research topic.  Reflection: I can relate to the research topic personal. 

Reflect on your past experiences with research in school. What challenges have you faced when working independently or in a group, and how did you handle them? Explain how those experiences will influence the way you approach this current research project.

 When working with a group challengges I may deal with is everyone not doing there part or doing the bare minimun to make sure we get a good grade but also when I work independently sometimes I don´t have the motivate to do the work or I may do it last minute. With these experiences I will make I am motivatied to do the independent work and motivate my group members to do well on there work.  Summary:  learning the research process.  Reflection: I like my group topic. 

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

 If I could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time or responsibilites I would go to Jamaica with my bestfriend, stay at a beauiful resort with its own private beach, hot tub, unlimited food and snacks, then go out make friends with the local after that we leave Jamaica go to Pamana city beach to see all our friends who went for spring break, go to the partys, and go to the beach to ride the jet ski.  Summary: CommonLit  Reflection: I´m excited experience college. 

McCandless set out to live independently in the wilderness, but his death reveals the harsh reality of nature and survival. In your blog post, analyze how his desire for independence contributed to his death. Then, connect this idea to your own life by explaining a time when you wanted complete independence or control over a situation. Did things go as planned, or did you face unexpected challenges?

 His desire for independence contributed to his death because in order for him to be fully independent, Chris had to isolate himself, to not depend on anyone for help, and pushing people close to him away causing him to have no one to save him when he went to Alaska. This reminds me of when I wanted to get my driving license but my dad kept postponing my chance to take, he would brush it off or tell me to slow down as if I did wait a year of holding my permit and did the joshua law, I was more then ready to get my license but the more and more I tired to get control of the situation the more my dad pushed back. In the end I still have not gotten my license, instead I got my car first.  Summary: Finished the rest of the flim and book.  Reflection: The movie was sad, I know if I watched it by myself or at home I would of cried.
