Think about how you have searched for information in the past compared to what you practiced today. How is creating specific search phrases different from just “Googling” a topic? Explain how this strategy will improve the quality of your research.

 Prompt Response: Using a database with specific words is better than just Googling because it looks through a small group of trusted, expert articles. Google often shows ads or popular blogs, but a database only gives you high-quality facts from writers who know their stuff. This helps you find better proof for your work and keeps you from getting distracted by wrong information.

Summary: In class we worked in our groups

Reflection: Using specific phrases helps to focus on the topic we want.

In one well-developed paragraph, reflect on the assignment by explaining which vocabulary word was easiest for you to understand, which word was most challenging, and how creating your own sentence and selecting an image helped strengthen your understanding of the vocabulary. Use specific examples from your work.

 Prompt Response: The easiest word for me to understand was provocative. I have already heard this word before and already knew what it meant. The hardest word to understand was toady, because I have never heard this used before and it confused me. I associate toads as gross so being toady sounds like a bad thing but it actually means being nice. Creating my own sentence and selecting an image made me think of how a word would be used in real life scenarios and how it could be visually represented.
