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.

 We each hold each other accountable. We try to divide up the work as best and fair as we can. This way the work gets finished as efficiently as possible. If someone finishes their part faster than another person they try to see if they can help. The more we work together the more work that gets done. If we finish then we all get to relax. Today we wrote an introduction paragraph. We also made source introductions. Today I learned how to write a source introduction. Happy last blog post of the year.

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.

 A challenge we faced was having to choose between each source. All 3 of us found really good sources that covered all the bases. We read through the sources and would decide by trying to come to a resolution. Our way of overcoming was to just talk through it and discuss what we were really looking for. Today we worked on selecting sources. We also wrote them down on paper. Today I learned I am making $7.00 an hour for training shifts.

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 hardest part has  has been trying to find data/statistic sources. I scoured Galileo but could not find anything. This is difficult because we need this source not only for a grade but also because you always want a data source in your annotated bibliography. Mr Rease helped us find one eventually. This was a big issue because without a data source we didn't have a visual number or graph that would help us to show free speech vs. cancel culture. Today in class we wrote on this paper. We also pulled 7 sources from our group and discussed them.  Today I learned that I don't have to wake up early anymore.

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.

 Doing all this research makes me understand my topic better. My sources all connect by choosing a side of cancel culture limiting free speech or not. This is helpful because it's given me both sides of the argument.  Today in class I revised my annotated bibliography. I also submitted it. Today I learned who our NHS president is.

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.

 For me the reflection was the most challenging part. For the summary I just remember the key details and summarize them. For the evaluation I just look up the source and see if its reliable or no. But for the reflection, I have to connect it back to my main research question. This is much harder then just remembering key details from each source.  Today in class I listened to music. I worked all day on my annotated bibliography. I learned I average 2.5 points a game in lacrosse.

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.

 It was really difficult for me to find multiple perspectives on my topic. It was hard first because I couldn't find any good sources that conveyed the information I was looking for. This made it difficult because I thought there would be hundreds and thousands of articles about cancel culture. I don't know if this made me think of cancel culture as a complex topic or just one that wasn't talked about sufficiently enough for me to find sources. Today in class we kept working on our research. I got more familiar with Galileo but still facing the same problems. Today I learned I shoot 87 mph in lacrosse.

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.

 I find it harder to use Galileo because it keeps giving me so many sources that aren't helpful to me. I have tried many different research phrases and even change the filters, but it gives me sources about "repairing heart tissue". This doesn't make sense to me because I type cancel culture effects on society. I like Google more because I am so familiar with it. I know if I search something up, Google won't give me random sources. I can scroll down and find blogs and websites ending with .edu and know that it is trusted. Today In class we started working on our research. It was hard because I have never used Galileo before. Today I learned I can shoot 75 with my left hand.
