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:  Strategies we have to ensure every time we participate we all include input on the assignment. And we ask each other questions to get a better understanding of what the other person is thinking.  Summary: today in class we worked on research projects  Reflection:  today in class I learned more about AI. 

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.

Prompt Response:  The group that I am didn't have any conflict when it came to analyzing  sources. When looking for sources we communicated well on which sources we wanted to use and the ones we didn't while also explaining why it wouldn't be a good fit for the project.  Summary: today in class we worked on research projects  Reflection:  today I learned more about AI from my group members. 

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:   The most issue connected to my topic is AI being used in schools for bad reasons.  tension between its potential to personalize learning and the risks it poses to academic integrity and cognitive development. I find this topic important because I can see why teachers don't like us using it.  Summary: today we worked on research projects.  Reflection:  Today in class I learned more about AI

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.

Prompt Response:  The bibliography my understanding of my topic because it gave me ways why my topic would be good. My sources connect with one another because they gives different reasons on how my topic can be used instead of school. They are shaping my argument differently because i thought AI was only used for bad.  Summary: today in class we finished are Bibliography  Reflection:  today I learned how to do a 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.

Prompt Response:  The most difficult part of the bibliography was the evaluation because i was confused on how to explain why this source is credible. This challenge helped me grow as a researcher because it made me learn more about the authors. This will be for the project because we now know the article that is being used is credible.  Summary: Today in class we started an annotated bibliography.  Reflection:  today I learned what an annotated bibliography is. 

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.

Prompt Response:  Differences that I notice was AI was not only used in schools. People connect AI with many different things in society. This better helped my search because I didn't just have 10 articles that talked about AI in schools.  Summary: Today in class we continued to find 10 sources for a research project.  Reflection:  Today i finished finding my 10 sources. 

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.

Prompt Response:  Using GALILEO was different from using google because topics relating to my pharse were easier to find and understand. Using specific search topics helped me get a better understanding of what I was researching.  Summary: Today in class we found 10 articles for a research project.  Reflection:  Today I learned how to use a new research website. 

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?

Prompt Response:  The primary criticism is foreign problems being a distraction from domestic problems. Trump is pointing at external threats which is Israel to divert the public's attention from the real problem accruing at home which in the picture it would be ICE, and the Bill he passed.  Summary: Today in class we looked at examples for a research project  Reflection:  today in class I learned how I am going to do my research project  

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.

Prompt Response:   Using specific search phrases is like using a GPS instead of a paper map; it takes you directly to the exact "address" of the information you need. While "Googling" gives you millions of general results, specific terms filter out the noise and connect you with high-quality, professional sources. This saves you time by removing the need to dig through irrelevant websites that only cover the basics. Ultimately, this strategy ensures your research is more accurate and detailed because you are asking the computer for evidence rather than just a summary. Summary: Today in class we did a common Lit.  Reflection:  I learned more about hollywood 

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.

Prompt Response:   Exploring the effects and implications of personal technology is difficult because the "right" answer changes as fast as the tech itself. Because devices like smartphones and AI are now integrated into almost every second of our lives, it is nearly impossible to find a "neutral" space to observe their impact. Summary: Today in class we came up with phrases to search up our project.  Reflection:  I learned different words you can use to create a phrase. 

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.

Prompt Response:  Challenges I have faced while doing research is being the one to do all the work while In the group. I handled this well because I don't mind doing work by myself it was just a lot on me because I did have other class assignments to complete. This experience will influence me to speak up when I feel like I am doing all the work and maybe we will get an understanding within the group.  Summary: Today in class we played a Kahoot.  Reflection:  today in class I learned who the United States vice president was. 

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?

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?

Prompt Response:  Chris's desire to be independent contributed to his death because if he just asked for help he could have gotten the right gear to prepare him for the journey. A time I wanted complete independence is learning new things in math I feel if I can help myself it can be better because I don't have to bother anyone. I faced challenges because I'm not good in math and my grade reflected me wanting to be independent.  Summary: Today in class we finished reading and watching into the wild  Reflection:  Today I learned how Chris died of starvation
