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:  Border control is the system countries use to manage who enters and leaves their borders. One important issue is how to balance national security with treating migrants and refugees fairly. Research shows that strict border policies can sometimes prevent people in danger from finding safety. At the same time, governments argue they need strong control to protect their citizens and resources. I find this issue important because it involves both human rights and safety, which are often difficult to balance. Summary: Today in class we worked on our topic and did a worksheet. Reflection: I learned some new algebra concepts.

Prompt: 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-  Completing the annotated bibliography helped me understand my topic more clearly. My sources started to connect and show similar ideas. Some sources supported each other, while others added different views. This helped me see the main points I want to focus on. It is helping me build a stronger argument for my research paper.  Summary- i was out sick Reflection- I learned to drink more water when i’m sick.

Prompt: 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-  The evaluation part was the most challenging for me. It was hard to judge if a source was reliable and useful. I had to think more carefully about the author and the information. This helped me become better at choosing strong sources. It will help me write a more accurate and trustworthy research paper. Summary- I was out sick  Reflection- Don’t go near sick family members

Prompt: 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: Different sources had different opinions about the topic. Some supported one side, while others disagreed. They also used different facts and examples to explain their ideas. This showed me that the issue is not simple and has many sides. It helped me understand the topic better overall. Summary: We continued to gather sources Reflection: I learned how to calculate density.

Prompt: 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-  Using Galileo was different because it gave me trusted academic sources instead of random websites. Before , I usually just used Google and picked the first results. With Galileo, I had to use better keywords and filters to find good sources. This helped me get more accurate and reliable information.  Overall, my research was stronger and more useful. Summary: we found sources on Galileo Reflection: I learned how to calculate velocity.
