April 30 - May 1: 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 made sure to update one another on what we missed and to be all caught up. We worked through every source together and talked throughout all the 7 sources. We decided which one we should use with no issue of being biased. All members of my group had at least 2 sources that we decided on. Before picking one of our sources we looked through every source of each group member.  Summary: We didn't have odd block today. Reflection:  We didn't have odd block today.

April 29 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.

      While selecting and analyzing sources, most of the sources were very long so it took a while to get through them all. Rather than wasting time looking through every page we just looked through some of the pages to gather information to put on our paper. We really didn't have any problems as a group we all did our own thing but looked through the documents and gather information together.  Summary: It was odd block we didn't have this class.  Reflection: It was odd block we didn't have this class.

April 27 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 most compelling issue connected to this topic is that most parents prefer strict parenting styles to their kids. This issue is some factors that lead to a authoritative style would mostly be on how the parents were raised. Parents often want their child to have a great future and have an educated lifestyle. This is really important to me because with a strict style the relationship between parents and children is high demanding for a cause of different behaviors. When we were researching and reading through the sources parenting is  mostly quoted to be having a "controversial" parenting style.  Summary: In class we started evaluating our 7 different sources together and picked them out.  Reflection: Our group finished with the worksheets.

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.

       While researching my topics I found different view points about how parents treat their kids. Some parents go the strictest ways to make sure their children get the best and meet their high expectations. This helped me understand that different parents all have their own ways in taking care of their children. These sources provide different viewpoints on how children behave and act. Summary: In class we continued researching and gathering  sources on our topic. Reflection: I've gathered all my sources and I'm ready to upload it into Canvas.
