Solve a World Problem

Sam Reyes, Alex Goodin - Teen Vaping

I was not in school for the majority of the project, however I did do the finding the problem and research portion of the project. For my research I decided to look for articles showing teen vaping health costs and statistics on how it was affecting them. I looked at 3 articles and evaluated them first on credibility to see if they could be used as a credible source. After I did this I properly annotated each paragraph with three to five words describing what the main idea of it was. Then I answered questions and wrote my own mini summary about key points from the article.

For my research I believe I performed well in my summary's at the end of the articles as I believe I thoroughly addressed all of the key points and concerns for my groups problem of teen vaping. Secondly I believe I was effective at condensing the key points of each article into 3-5 words as I would look for important things or statistics and mark them in a concise manner. For things I could improve on I believe I could work on my choices of articles as I believe all of the content I got was different but in some areas it overlapped so I could examen my articles more closely before choosing them. Finally, I could have worked on my speed on completing the research as it took me about 3 hours to do 3 articles.
