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.

 We all divided the work completely and all discuss and communicated while working. We all discuss what are topic would be for the paragraph would be and then later we decided the sentences on our own. We connected our ideas and did it all together to make our final draft, then made any revises and turned it in. We worked very efficiently and smoothly. Today we wrote our 2 intro paragraphs I learn how to write the intro paragraphs and work with group better

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.

 The biggest problem in immigration today is the clash between new technology and human rights . While governments use fast AI tools to track borders, these systems often make automated decisions that ignore the personal stories of people seeking safety. My research shows that this creates a "protection gap," where tech can easily block people, but our laws aren't updated to help those fleeing new dangers like climate change. This is important because it turns immigration into a cold data game rather than a fair process for people in need. Today we chose our best sources and evaluated them to see the best one I learned how to evaluate to find the best source

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.

 Working on this annotated bibliography helped me realize that immigration is a much more complex issue than I first thought, specifically regarding how policy affects local communities. I found that my sources connect by showing a clear link between legal status and economic stability, with several authors agreeing that integration programs are the key to long-term success. These connections are shaping my argument to focus more on the human impact of these policies rather than just looking at the statistics. Today we worked on our annotated bibliography  I learn how to write a annotated bibliography

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.

 I would say probably the reflection because how big my topic is and how it could connect to such a specific article. Especially, when reflecting the table it was hard relate with my topic because the table option were limited. But I will say they were not too hard because a lot of the sources I found were very good and easy to write about. Today we worked on our sources and research paper I learn how to write annotated bibliography 

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.

 Some problems my group faced were deciding between to good article. When we got to the academic review we struggle because everyone had such good sources and it was very hard to find which one was the best out of all of them. But at the end we decided to see which related most the question and which would be us the farthest to what we need to reach the answer in our question unbiased.  Today we chose 7 sources out of the 40 we had I learn too choose right sources for the right topic 

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.

 I noticed that some sources talked about helping families , while others focused on following government laws . Some writers said immigrants help the economy, but others were worried about having enough jobs for everyone. These different ideas showed me that people disagree because they care about different things. Seeing both sides helped me realize that immigration is a big, complicated topic with no easy fix. Today we worked on our sources and completed them I learn how to find valid sources

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.

 Using GALILEO was different because it provided academic articles instead of just general websites. I used specific keywords and filters to narrow down my results to the most relevant topics. Evaluating each source helped me make sure the information was credible and written by experts. This process significantly improved the overall quality and reliability of the research I found. Today we had to find different sources and add it to our google folder. I learn how to find good credible sources for my topic.
