Task
Review the project overview if needed.
Now that your group has decided what issue you will research, it is time to start gathering information. Each member of the group should find three web-based resources that provide good information about his or her issue. At least one of those resources must come from Alabama Virtual Library. Complete Website Evaluation and Notes.
Submit your completed Website Evaluation and Notes to both the Collaborative Project — Sharing Resources Discussion (in order to share it with other group members) and the Collaborative Project — Website Evaluation and Notes Dropbox (to submit it for a grade). Be sure to read the website evaluations of your other group members. They may have found resources that you would like to use in your portion of the work.
In addition, you should use the Collaborative Project — Sharing Resources Discussion to decide each person's role in the next step for the project. The group will divide into the following roles.
-
Role #1 - Background: This person will provide background information on the question, including definitions for any needed terms, the science behind the issue, and a factual description of the issue.
-
Role #2 - Supporter: This person will support a yes answer on the question. For example, if the question is Would you visit a zoo of extinct cloned animals? you would answer yes. You should look for evidence that supports and argues for your position. Remember that your arguments must be supported by factual information, not unsupported opinions. Real-world evidence or related cases can be used.
-
Role #3 - Dissenter: This person will support a no answer on the question. For example, if the question is Would you visit a zoo of extinct cloned animals? you would answer no. You should look for evidence that supports and argues for your position. Remember that your arguments must be supported by factual information, not unsupported opinions. Real-world evidence or related cases can be used.
Include your group name in the subject line of your posts to make it easier for your other group members to find them!
