The purpose of the his activity is to work with your peers on developing an understanding of how others have designed their studies so that you have a better sense of how to design your own study.
First, read 1) "What is Primary Research?" (and eight related links, see left side bar) on the Purdue OWL, 2) Crossman "Snowball Sample" paying attention both to how researcher conduct primary research and why they make the decisions that they do when designing and conducting research. Also listen to Science Vs. "Science" paying attention how one establishes credibility through their writing in academic and professional contexts. Finally, read Cullington "Texting and Writing" from Young Scholars in Writing, 8 paying attention to how this composition student designed and conducted research for her study, as well as the way she composed her article.
Second, individually think through the following questions:
Third, as a group use the strategy that your team designed for Activity #1: Creating a Plan for Collaboration to answer these questions in a 500-750-word cohesive statement. I am not interested in the perspective of one person in the group whom the others have assigned to answer a single question. I want to learn how you helped each other understand this text and what the group collectively learned from the article. I am not interested in the perspective of one person in the group whom the others have assigned to answer a single question. I want to learn how you helped each other understand this text and what the group collectively learned from the article. The answer to these questions should reflect the diversity of your group.
On March 1, 2019, only one person from each team needs to submit the Activity to the Google Classroom; however, all other team members should mark the Activity as done in Google Classroom.
