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.

Prompt Response - We made sure everyone stayed involved by talking about what needs to get done. We talked in class and discussed the assignment, shared ideas, and made sure we understood our part. We divided responsibilities so that while one person did one part, like finding quotes, another person would do the other part, and then we would share and put everything together. Summary - Today in class, we finished working on finding the best sources for our research project. Reflection - Today, we thought about which sources would be best for our research project.

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.

Prompt Response - We didn't face many challenges while selecting and analyzing sources. There were a few times when we had different opinions about what information was most relevant to our research topic, but those issues were solved pretty easily. We communicated by talking with each other, sharing our research, and looking through each other’s sources to compare the information we found. By discussing our ideas and explaining why certain sources were useful, we were able to agree on what best supported our topic and continue working together effectively. Summary - Today in class, we started working on finding the best sources for our research project. Reflection - Today, we thought about which sources would be best for our research project.

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.

Prompt Response - The most compelling issue I had with my research was how it can both help and harm people’s mental health. Social media allows teens and young adults to stay connected, build friendships, and find support, which can reduce loneliness and depression. At the same time, other research found that heavy social media use can increase anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem because of cyberbullying, social comparison, and too much screen time. I find this issue important because social media is a big part of people’s daily lives, and understanding their positive and negative effects can help people build healthier online habits.
