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: Some challenges we faced while choosing our sources would be choosing which source was best fit, or which one correlates to our research question better. To overcome it we talked as a group and stated in what ways the source was the best fit and also the errors or mistakes it had as well. My group communicated well we took turns speaking and what we believed was better and what was not. When we disagreed, we would say why we thought our choice was better and chose which one was best.  Summary: Today in class we finished choosing our 7 sources and write quotes as evidence from each source. reflection: Today in class I learned about that we had to choose quotes from the 7 sources we chose that relate to our research question. 

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: The most compelling issue about my research topic is how quickly students and teacher are depending more on AI. Many studies reviewed show that AI can improve confidence, save time, and support learning, but it also it can weaken critical thinking and reduce the ability of students to come up with ideas of their own. I find this issue important because it shows how AI can make learning easier, but also change the way students think, work, and develop essential skills.  Summary: Today in class we started choosing our 7 sources we were going to use to create our research paper.  Reflection: Today in class I learned that we had to choose 7 sources and summarize them to be able to see which the best are to choose. 

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: The cartoon is criticizing how leaders may distract the people with foreign conflicts. It shows Trump pointing at another country while a harmful bill crushes uncle Sam. The elephant represents the republican party and a heavy policy hurting Americans. ICE standing by adds to the idea of tough or harmful domestic actions. The cartoonists want the audience to whether attention is being pulled away from real problems at home. Summary: Today in class we skimmed sources and discussed as a class if they should be restructured or not. Reflection: today in class I learned about having to research 10 sources each member of my group and then drop it to 7 sources.
