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:  My group didn't face many challenged when working together. The only issue would be when we couldn't decide who's source was bet fit. There was also difficulty finding a data source because no one in my group had a good one so we had to all search for a new one. Overall my group worked very well together and we were able to all communicate very well and all put in equal effort to get the assignment completed. Summary: In class we finished comparing all of our groups sources to find the best ones and find 2 pieces of evidence from each source we chose. Reflection:  This helped me better understand my sources and it let me get evidence for each 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.

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 Response:  The most difficult part about writing the annotative bibliography the summary. I have to reread all of my sources and take in all the information to write a clear summary, which I dread doing. After the second paragraph it started to become boring which made it even harder to write. Summary: We started our annotative bibliography. Reflection:  This helped me better understand my sources and what they're about.

Prompt: 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?
